Terrell Texas Bluebonnets


Texas is blessed to have the bluebonnet has its state flower. Its not quite bluebonnet season, but there are patches popping up all over. They grow wild along highways all over the state. This is in Terrell next to Highway 34.

The Terrell Tribune has a bluebonnet gallery that shows you why the bluebonnet is loved so much. Be sure to check out the rest of the Tribunes website while there, they have revamped it and it is very user friendly.

Dont forget the Annual Terrell Heritage Jubilee is 19th and 20th. The carnival starts Wednesday.

These are wonderful pictures...but have you noticed that the bluebonnets are much smaller this year? I remember them bigger years ago.

I'll trade you a sunflower for a bluebonnet! They are beautiful, and add such a nice splash of color to the Texas landscape.

My mom lived around El Campo and they had a lot of bluebonnets there. This is a nice shot of that beautiful blue color.

Beautiful! I can't believe I've lived in Texas for a total of 4 years now and haven't taken one picture of the bluebonnets!
