Happy Easter - 2013

 It's bluebonnet season in Texas!  Maybe Lady Bird Johnson was behind this, back in the 60s.  She was into flowers & such.  At this time of year, along the roadsides, you'll see people plopping their toddlers in the middle of a patch of bluebonnets & taking gobs of pictures.  They really are quite pretty.
Here's a closeup - check out the bee, on the right, below.

Picasso went through his blue period in the early 1900's.  This blog is going through its blue period today.  Here's a blue house . It's cloudy today & doesn't show up too great, but it's blue all right.


 Next we have this very cool stand of crape myrtle trees.  Someone has painted the trunks blue to bring awareness to the drought, or deforestation - I forget.  Looks cool, though:

Here's a closer shot - they did a very nice & job & didn't spill all over the ground:



Finally, we have my cool retro bike - in blue - against the hazy Houston skyline:
 
Happy Easter to all three of you who still follow the blog!
