We are at peak season for the Texas bluebonnets and Saturday we drove a loop from Burnet to Lampasis to Llano in search of these wild wonders.

After an afternoon of driving we stopped in the charming little town of Llano.

The Llano River cuts through the heart of this town, and a bridge connects the otherwise divided downtown.

As we walked the pedestrian sidewalk on the bridge, a hot spring sun beat down on us, and we envied the people swimming and splashing in the river.

I perused several of the cute antique shops. Kenny protected the merchandise from Titus’ curiosity.

Have I mentioned that I love the Texas Hill Country?
