BLUEBONNETS

The photo above is a very common scene in the Kingsland area in April of each year. People come from miles around to take pictures of their loved ones posing in the fields of beautiful bluebonnets. Special tour buses even bring in tourists to photograph the flowers.

Until you have actually seen the fields of Bluebonnets from March through May around Kingsland and the Texas Hill Country, you can not imagine how beautiful they are. No description or photo can do them justice. In addition to the Bluebonnets every spring, there are also Indian Paintbrush, Indian Blanket, and several other flowers that literally cover the fields of the Highland Lakes. It is truly a paradise every spring.
