Texas Bluebonnets
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 28 August 2009 in Transportation and Portfolio.
Trailering our home on wheels through the state of Texas in 2002. The Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush were in bloom everywhere and just beautiful. ... The 'rig' measured a total of 48-feet [14.6 meters], and was a dream to drive. The dual-wheeled truck tracked so beautifully, an 18-wheeler could go zooming past and we didn't rock at all. Mike and I always took turns driving; that way we didn't argue about who would get behind the wheel. :D
PS: Sorry I didn't get around yesterday to thank you for comments on my Texas shot of Cedar Creek Marina.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

They are so pretty. A field of blue. Did you rent that beautiful duo or did you own it. Pretty nice ride my lady.

@Marion: Thanks, Marion, and we owned the "duo" until the IRS changed the status of Mike's pension.
Those along w/the house went ... and we sleep nights! xx

The bonnets are beautiful and I love the spots of orange mixed in. A wonderful set up to fill your lives with adventure and still have the comforts of home.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
Have been to Texas many times, but never in bluebonnet season. Now I know what that can look like alongside the roads and hwys. It's wonderful. Nicely put together here, Judy, with your mobile home and red canoe parked beside the road.

@Viewfinder: Awww, you need to go when the Bluebonnets are blooming ... it is an outrageous display of color!
This is one of our magnificent memories! ♥

I have never seen those specific flowers. They almost look like the tops of lupins. Very beautiful photo, Judy!

@Lambspun: Yes, the remind me of the wild lupins in Maine and Nova Scotia ... fields and fields of them.
