Flowerworks

The wildflower season in Texas is like a fireworks show. Every time you think it’s over, it isn’t. Starting with a big boom of Bluebonnets in early Spring it dissolves gradually into a billion points of multicolored lights by Summer. Sunflowers and the 4th of July mark the end of the show. It was a decent vintage this year. But wait, there’s more—the Bluebells are coming (stay tuned).

‘Leap Into Light’

Paul Theroux likened traveling to “a leap in the dark.” But three things happen when you travel: the familiar is seen in a different light, something new is always learned, and prejudices unravel. Travel is a leap into light.
