Wild Flowers 2002

The following pictures were taken April of 2002 on a Wild Flower trip that my sister, Carrie, and I took. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time. Still it was a trip filled with beautiful flowers.

Under construction! More pictures, observations, and details coming. This page should be finished by April 15th.

These were scattered about in a few places in Central Texas. I caught a picture of these near Brenham.

This is a picture of my sister walking 'carefully' through a field of bluebonnets in the rain. I sure am glad I brought my raincoat, except I let her use it:)
