Bluebonnets
Shannon let me know that lack of bluebonnets was no excuse for failing to take the baby-in-the-bluebonnets picture this year.
But the only decent stands of bluebonnets I’ve seen were arms-length from passing traffic on MoPac Boulevard. I thought about hiking down the service road with the boy and letting Shannon drive by and snap photos …
But we settled for a small smattering of flowers in Mary Moore Searight Park.
What a difference a year makes.
Here’s a photo from last year. (No, I don’t know who that joker holding the boy is, but he sure needs a shave and a decent T-shirt.) It was probably a little early to take the boy out into the world. I’m sure his only thought at this point was “Bright light! Bright light!”
About a year later, and this is the official photo. (Yes, all the bluebonnets in the park can be seen in this frame.)
Happy spring, y’all.

We had the same problem with bluebonnet photos this year, too. I'm thinking I'll just Photoshop pics of my kids into last year's shots.
