These bluebonnets are located in Valley Ranch between MacArthur & Beltline just north of IH 635. They are on the road behind Home Depot, The Dump, & Con's. (I think the street name is Ranch Trail but I don't remember for sure.) TONS of Bluebonnets!

To help you find the location, I stood at the bluebonnets, faced south and shot this of the buildings. Here you can see Frys, Home Depot, The Dump and Con's.

Ohh! Might try that out this week. Good area for dogs too!

Make sure you leave the site better than you found it!

Anybody plan to tear down that fence so we don't have to photo shop it out in all the shots? (joken)

Surprised that it hasn't been mauled by crowds yet.

That is a great find, Shelley. Hopefully they're still in good enough shape; might take the boys out there this weekend.

I'll try to drive by there in the morning and see if they are still in good shape. I'll email you and let you know. Saturday I'm going to Germanfest in Muenster but if you go on Sunday call me and I'll meet you there. Maybe you and Megan can be in the photo as well! btw....I heard things went well this past Saturday!
