We really wanted to take a drive out into the Hill Country to see the wildflowers last week. We've been enjoying them as we drive around town, and we knew they must be hitting their peak in the country side. But we just didn't have the time for a leisurely drive on top of all the other things we had to do.
So the compromise: walk around the lake at Cedar Park Town Center.
The lake is less than a mile from our house, and there were many wildflowers to see along our walk there.
The lake, usually beautiful on its own, makes an even more beautiful backdrop for the flowers.
The sidewalk hasn't been completed around one side of the lake, so we followed the path animals and hikers before us had created in the brush...
...before rejoining the path on the other side.
On the other side of the lake, we saw an amazing variety of birds as well as wildflowers (which I'll post pictures of tomorrow).
And a final pose with the Texas state flower (bluebonnets) before heading home.
