I photographed this "Blue"bonnet this morning at Mercer Arboretum. I also photographed the Aggie Bluebonnet as well. If there are any Aggie fans you might want to venture to Mercer .So where are the Uof H bluebonnets?

Another beautiful image Therese, the water drops and touch of spider web add to this image. It looks like a little tiny spider might be on there too but I can not tell for sure. The colors really work on this one.

Therese, good job. I sometimes fail to look at the flowers in search of birds and you remind m of what I probably missed. | | | |

That's a beautiful pink color and I love the dew. My only nit would be the dark blue in the corner. Is that a blue bluebonnet?

I'm not sure about the blue on the left either, but I think I have some without. Yes it's a real blue bluebonnet   . Quote:
