Wildflower Interlude
After a visit to the World’s Smallest Catholic Church last weekend, I took advantage of the day’s nice weather and enjoyed a bit of one of the many things that make Texas so great, our majestic Spring wildflowers. Some years, due to drought and/or other factors, their abundance is limited. This year, however, things are looking nice. The day took me to Washington County, through the town of Brenham, home of the best ice cream in the world, then up Highway 50 to the very small town of Independence. Today, Independence is home to Old Baylor Park. Before Baylor University set down permanent roots in Waco, it was here, from 1845-1886. On a good flower year, this is a top destination. I wasn’t disappointed. Most of these photos are from there. The last two were taken in Caldwell (home of the Kolache Festival), along Texas Highway 36. We love our wildflowers.
Andy, do you ever sell prints?

I probably need to sell prints. Since I embraced the digital world in the mid 90s, however, prints haven’t been on my radar. What I need to do is find a lab I trust to do things properly. Printing them myself is far too cost-prohibitive.

Ah! Uplifting and beautiful, Andy!
I have bookmarked your blog and hope
to visit it often. I’m not on FB much.
Happy Spring!

Thanks, Laura! And I spend too much time on FB myself. Enjoy the cherry blossoms!
