A Whole Field of Wildflowers For A Backyard


Yesterday, I took my young future photographer on a trip to look for wildflowers. We drove west of Seguin down Farm Road 467 and stopped when we spotted this yard. This house is located on the corner of FM 467 and a much smaller back road, so we pulled off the highway and parked on the side of the road. If you look very closely, you can see an old bicycle leaning against the side of the house, and a plastic white lawn chair in the yard.

We took several pictures and then we walked along the perimeter barb wire fence and took in the glory of several acres of Indian paintbrushes and some yellow wildflowers covering the field.

I can tell that the wildflower season is winding down, as far as photography opportunities go, because people are beginning to mow along the sides of the road, now. Also, we went to a rural church which has a 90 year old four-room school house on it's property, and they had also mowed their field.

Nonetheless, I will still try to go on a few more wildflower outings before they are all gone.
