This location is mentioned in my book, Texas Wildflower Routes: Hill Country Edition A dirt road leads to this area of the railroad tracks. It looks like this spot is a week from peak bloom. Notice the dead vegetation left over from last summer.

This is on the Sullivan property on Old Spanish Trail, which is located on the west side of the intersection of Hwy 20 and FM1431 (also known as Fuzzy's Corner). The owners have a sign posted that visitors may enter the property as long as they stay on the road. My thanks for their generousity..

House at Marble Falls

The famous "house at Marble Falls" is once again surrounded by a field of bluebonnets. The clouds from the approaching "wintery-like" weather obscured the sky, but the bluebonnets were still beautiful.
