Bluebonnets get the most attention of the vast variety of Texas wildflowers, but my personal favorite is the Prickly Poppy. It begins blooming in mid spring and lasts through late summer’s heat, a bright pop of white in the green pastures and along roadsides. I drew these from a photo taken at our campsite in Bastrop State Park. I especially liked how the flowers looked next to the Bastrop ironstone.
State Farm acted quickly after our car wreck two weeks ago. We received our claim payoff and yesterday we were able to buy another Trax, this time in a new color called “cypress gray” — in some light it looks dark earthy green and some light it looks gray. Once we add a tow package, we can get back to camping adventures.
Vicky it is always fun to see what you are sketching. Those poppies look lovely in your sketch book. Like your new vehicle...the color sounds so interesting. Well enjoy your camping...hope you can camp soon. Have a good Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteI was determined NOT to choose a car by its color. We were interested in several used cars they had available, in the usual white, silver, red, or black. But the salesman mentioned this unusual green they just got in in new model and I had to see it. Unknown to us, they were running a special discount for veterans and we ended up paying about the same for this new car as we would have for the used one.
DeleteHave a wonderful Memorial Day yourself! We’ll also be celebrating our 54th anniversary.
