All photos by Theodore and Jennifer Scott.

Each spring, the Texas roadsides are covered with wildflowers. People get into their cars and go hunting for the perfect spot to take family photos among the bluebonnets.

I have a few recommendations:

-Don’t trespass. Especially avoid fields with signs that read “No Trespassing, We Don’t Call 911″.
-Don’t slam on the brakes and veer off the highway when you spot a patch of blue in the ditch.
-Don’t trample all the flowers. Don’t allow your kids and dogs to do it either.

If you are free right now, come visit. The flowers are starting to bloom.

    One of the best things about TX. I’ve been lucky enough to drive all over East TX on two occasions this season.
