The state flower of Texas is the Blue Bonnet. They grow along side the freeways, service roads, open fields and the medians. This time of year they are everywhere. Cities actually pay to have the road sides seeded with blue bonnet and other wildflower seeds. This was started by Lady Bird Johnson when she returned to Texas from Washington DC. Each spring her legacy lives on here in Texas as they bloom. Texans LOVE their blue bonnets about as much as they love their state. It is a tradition each spring when the blue bonnets bloom to take pictures in them. Taylor was the only one who was game for this. In fact she specifically asked me to take her out and take her picture in them. Luckily there is an area by our house that is a popular picture taking spot. She had a lot of fun laying in them...till she saw the bees. Thankfully the bees didn't bother us.
Just a few of my favorite shots.

Taylor is so gorgeous! She's such a cutie in those blue bonnets! Oh, and did you know it is against the law to cut down or pick a bloomed blue bonnet? It is in Texas! Hey, don't mess with the Texas Blue Bonnet, baby!
