Many more images to come as the season unfolds ... y'all come back now.

I cannot tell you how much I've enjoyed your tremendous display of Texas wildflowers, we're checking your site daily and are sending it to friends and relatives throughout the country.

We may not be able to make it out this year, but, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for sharing our, "braggin' rights"!

With love from,
    Boerne, TX

Wonderful photos!  I am driving down to Washington County late this week in hopes of seeing some of this in person.  I live up in the Panhandle, so it's a long trip for viewing flowers.  Any suggested route to make sure the trip is worthwhile?

I think I was in the Berclair cemetery the day you were taking pictures.  It's where many of my family are buried and I was trying, with my little throw-away camera, to have a record of my visit that day.  The wildflowers were major eye candy! Thank you so much!  You must have also been in some of the pastures around Berclair that day because I see many familiar places.  I was online looking for wildflower pictures today and just happened to get to your website.  AMAZING!  Thank you for making my day!  carole

I am very interested in purchasing a couple of your photos.
Would that be possible?

Howdy Bill,

Great shots as always. Love image 1, 6 and 7 from this year. Would love to know where you shot them at. Was able to get to the hill country on the 9th and 10th for the great showing there. Did you make it down to south of San Antonio as I heard that area was great also.

Keep shooting and add some Supercells,
Carson

Bill, Great work. Can you tell my where you took the pictures 6, 7? I am going tomorrow in search of more beauty and looks like you have found lots of it already. Thanks for sharing. Spencer

Is it too early to view flowers between Houston and Austin? I wanted to go this weekend or next weekend. Which will be better? Any suggested routes or roads a little off the beaten trail?

These are wonderful pictures (the wildflowers). Where were they taken?
Do you know a place with such abundance near College Station?

Thank you for your assistance.

Beautiful photos, always look for your photos here & reports on Wildflower Haven. Makes me want to get out there now. Can you tell me where #6 was taken? It is gorgeous!  Not able to get away from work till the 15th, headed to Llano/Fredericksburg area, hope I'm not too late!

Mr. Purcell,
I just wanted to say that I look forward to your posts on wildflower sightings and to seeing your pictures every year. The Bluebonnet Festival in Chappell Hill marks the one day I pretend I am a photographer.  I always mark your recommendations down for viewings and hope my pictures are somewhat as nice as yours.  
Thank you again for sharing your beautiful photographs.
