Bonnets and Longhorns

Two favorite images, Texas Longhorns and Texas Bluebonnets, somehow ended up in the same pasture over the weekend.  For this collection of photos I didn’t have to leave Williamson County.   These babies converged in a field on Ronald Reagan Parkway in Leander, Texas.   A lady who lives near here said there was hardly a bloom this time last year.   A lot of people were stopping by to take photos and admire the scene, including Joyce Hopkins, taking a self-portraits (selfies?) with her daughter, Cynthia Turner, visiting from Tulsa.   And there was cowboy hat-wearing 4-year-old Miguel Fajardo  who stopped to play among the flowers with this family.   It’s a good thing I’m a persistent person.   I waited for almost three hours before the dang cows actually decided to get up and mosey around.   These bovines didn’t realize I have the patience of Job, did they?
