Natural History Wanderings

Gary Regner Photography  reports on March 17, 2016 –

Wildflower EXPLOSION! It is incredible what some rain, sunshine and a little time can do. In under a week, the wildflowers have exploded into bloom seemingly out of no where.

My commute through northeast Austin takes me past several vacant lots and pastures, and last Friday there were no wildflowers, today, many of these fields are thickly covered in bluebonnets and paintbrush. It does appear that this spring will indeed be above average, and peak will be within a week in the Austin area.
