My favorite place to photograph wildflowers is the Hill Country of Central Texas. The bloom along highway 71 from Brady to Pontotoc can be spectacular. In good years flowers often stretch uninterrupted for fifty miles or more. Spring in the Hill Country is usually cool mornings and evenings with warm afternoons, perfect for visitors. Fair warning, on weekends the back roads can be busy places in the best viewing areas.
With wildflowers timing is everything. Texas is a very large geographical area encompassing multiple climate types and zones. In spring you can follow the wildflower bloom as it progresses across climate regions for several weeks. The State of Texas even operates a website to help you find the best areas to visit.
Who should we thank for all the Spring flowers? My pick is Lady Bird Johnson. She worked her whole life to make Texas a better and more beautiful place.
