6 degree. That was the temperature when I woke up through the first night in Texas. Got out in Bangalore style and immediately my body alarmed on the unusual climatic conditions. Got back into the hotel and grabbed my Jacket. Went for a walk down the street on a wonderful morning.
Was looking out for things around and one flower caught my attention. I could see those in groups. Intense blue and looked fresh.
On Sunday, on the way to church, I noticed this flower in a larger group on the freeway sides. It was raining and the whole place was so bluish and beautiful. Took my camera out and started clicking this. Taxi driver noticed my curiosity and told me that it is okay to take the pictures, but it is illegal to pluck the flower. I was thinking in my mind - "Really. That's weird. How will they know that I plucked it?".And the next info, "That's Bluebonnets, the state flower of Texas". That's something of my interest.
Following days I could take some very close pictures of this flower, but I didn't dare to touch them :) Rules are Rules. Am not breaking it.

| Took this picture while on a stroll through the Oliver Nature Park on a Friday evening. They had a section dedicated for bluebonnets to spring out from the earth. |
 |
| I spent sometime on the wooden chair nearby, sometimes watching these flowers and reviewing the picture I have taken on that day. |
 |
| I didn't have a wide angle lense. It would have been a fantastic click with bluebonnets covering the entire area of the park |
Found one interesting read on web related to bluebonnets.
