Maybe "vacant" isn't the best way to describe the lot one sees when first entering Brenham from the west on Hwy 290. It was full of beauty!

Snow-on-the-Prairie

I think this white flower is Snow-on-the-Prairie and the fields north of Chappell Hill are covered with it. It almost looks like a summer snow storm :0)

Yellow and Red Paintbrush and Bluebonnets

This was taken off of one of the side roads that intersects with 2769. There are numerous large patchs of Bluebonnets in the area, some several acres. Simply breathtaking!

Zion Lutheran Church on 2769

This church is about a mile northwest of 290 on 2769. I found a vantage point where I could get it in the background of a little hillock with lushly growing wildflowers.
