Bluebonnet sighting in DFW

[guitarbug]

Just to let some of the metroplex shooters know, I saw some good size (6-8 inch) Bluebonnets off 183 in Irving going west! They are almost here! I have never anticipated spring flower season like I have his year!

There are also patches of bluebonnets along I-30 in Arlington ...

Anticipation on this end as well. They are starting to pop up in Cedar Hill State Park as well. Caught this one yesterday after a shoot.

I just saw some on 30 going west bound just before 360 on the right shoulder.

I stopped to photograph all of the buckeye and plum trees that were blooming on the east side of the road about half way down to the south boat ramp. There were a few Lupinus texensis blooming right by the road. Just go into the main entrance, take a left at the T, and watch for the blooming buckeye trees on your left just after the camping area turnoff. Got lots more during the 2 hours it took me to "leave" the park after I finished a shoot at the south ramp. Hope to start processing all of them tomorrow night. I had already done this one since my wife likes bluebonnets so much.

Great shot Rusty! I was to tired to stop on the way home Sat! I seen a lot of kool stuff comming back on that 281 North out of Stephenville! I think I may take a road trip out that way in about 2-3 weeks!

Along 161 (the toll road) as well. Saw them on my way home and was pretty surprised.

So, if this is the beginning, when would be the typical peak, and the end, of the local DFW bluebonnet season?

Thanks. I noticed that the white was blown out so I readjusted when I was going through the 6 gigs of images from this weekend.

Uh huh, pretty tired myself on Saturday evening.

Saw a few good patches off of I-45 South, exit 253 in Ennis.

It always seems to me they are gone in a flash, but I think they normally last like 3 weeks or so. I tried google to confirm, but couldn't find anything.
