Blue Bonnet Sunset Canyon, Central Texas

It's almost time for spring in Central Texas. We saw new growth on some of our lantana today and it looks like the Cedar Elms are about to leaf out.

Thought I'd prod things along a bit.

This is from the first shoot with the 10D last spring. It was the only Blue Bonnet that survived the dry winter and spring and the deer.

10D, 100 f/2.8 macro, no flash, ISO 100, handheld
