Random Blue Bonnet Pictures (Austin, TX) – March 2020

 Spring time (around the middle of March) is usually when the blue bonnets really bloom, especially if there’s been a good amount of moisture.  The dampness really helps these wild flowers grow at various places, whether along the roadside, in parks, or other locales.  During the month of March on the weekends, and when I had some planned time-off before the mandatory lock-downs happened, I drove around various places in Austin to snap pictures of blue bonnets.  Many of these I sent to Mum not long after I took them, as these were her favorite flower.  And as it seemed likely that she wasn’t going to get down here to see them anytime soon, it was a proxy way for her to see them.  Here are the various places where I took these pictures (all in Austin, unless otherwise noted).
