We met our friends, Guy and Judy and headed north toward Llano to find some blue bonnets in bloom. We had promised the dogs a play date and picnic. There were all excited in the back of Judy's car. Left to right, Schuster, Ceilidh, and Gina.
We decided to take the Willow City Loop, a much publicized area for blue bonnet viewing. And they were right! Field of blue bonnets stretched for miles and miles.
Up close and personal-blue bonnets are a member of the Lupine family. They are much smaller than the Lupines we had in Pennsylvania, but the volume of them is breathtaking.
Isn't the entrance to this ranch beautiful??
I just had to stop and get a picture to this ranch gate that says "Take me back to my sweet Texas home."
The yucca were also blooming. You could see them on the mountain sides. Yes, there are some pretty tall mountains in the hill country.
Other spectacular views of the flowers and rugged hill country terrain,
Some areas were full of blue bonnets and these white flowers.
Even the main route (16) north to Llano was lined with the blue bonnets. It is truly a magical time of the year in the Texas Hill Country.

Now we need to find a place for a picnic and let the dogs play.
