Traditionally, the third week week of
April is peak blooming period for bluebonnets in Texas. This year, Elena and I had a little free time and
decided to visit the Ennis, Texas area renown for bluebonnet wild seeding.
About 9 miles north of Ennis, we started our search based on
an Internet lead for Sugar Ridge Rd, known for the fantastic hillsides and
fields covered in wildflowers. What an adventure,
around every curve and crest of each hill, we found a vista filled with
bluebonnets and other wild flowers. Nearly all the
traffic encountered on the road was like minded folks, driving slow and
enjoying each stop along the road.
The day was perfect in temperature, sunshine and clean
fragrant air. As you can see, “photo ops” were
plentiful.
