Bluebonnets: Baby Longhorns and Friend Jen

A few pictures from last year's bluebonnet adventures.
I finally just now got around to turning in my film from my non-digital cameras.
As with all of the following bluebonnet pictures, it is really worth clicking on the pictures to get the full screen effect.
Almost as good a being there in real life.

Bernie flew home last night from Austin and said from the air the ground looks like it has blue ponds and lakes and seas covering the ground...but the blue water really is just bluebonnets in bloom.
Next year I want to take a flight in a small plane or helicopter and see all of this from the air.

Isn't this the cutest baby?
Lucky baby longhorn!

My gal pal Jennifer visited last year from Oregon. She's my friend from dorm days at Oregon State, and was my Maid of Honor.

I made the above hat and just never cared for how it looked on me; I made it using a very bright magenta felt hat, which I styled the brim and crown then added a lily flower and shimmery silk organdy hat band.
Sometimes I make hats and wonder who they will work on.
In this case, it was Jennifer who looked perfect in the hat.
She wore it a few weeks later back home in Oregon for Easter.
Jen's retired now (lucky girl!) after teaching tobacco and other dependency cessation courses at Kaiser Medical center.
Now she devotes herself full time to her true passion: Horses and teaching dressage, which I call "ballet for horses."
