I met up with my hiking group at St. Edward’s Park. Bull Creek runs through the area and has this nice waterfall.

First Bluebonnet

The first bluebonnets are blooming. We’ve had good spring rains and are expecting photo opportunities galore. There are always plenty of people who stop and park right on Interstate 35 in Austin for their photos. My plan is to look for bluebonnets on country roads and in parks.
