I was visiting in the Austin, Texas area this week. I was able to capture these little purple flowers along the street in a flower box at Bastrop, Texas. There was a American Painted Lady Butterfly bonus so I was very happy.
I was visiting a blogging friend from Bastrop; Jo and Gene Castillo. Jo is an artist and does some really neat paintings, check out her site.
I'm not sure what the little blooms were but they were beautiful. We got 12" more of snow while I was gone. I'm ready for Spring.
You can see a lot of great flowers by visiting the site above.

The butterfly was a pleasant surprise indeed. In these fine pictures Spring is really round the corner. Beautiful flowers, Fishing Guy.
It is good to see flowers and of course the butterfly.Have a great day and thanks for your comments on our blog.

Lucky you to catch the butterfly along with the flowers!
Beautiful flowers, Tom... We loved to go to the hill country (when I lived near Houston for 12 yrs) in April to see the beautiful blue bonnets and wildflowers there.
Sorry to hear that your Texas temps weren't too good while you were there either. Guess you'll have to go back down there in April!!!!

How nice to visit some place that has flowers! We have more snow coming this week, I am told. Pretty purple, pretty butterfly.
You're not the only one ready for spring. But thanks for the beautiful spring flowers.
Are you sure spring will come? I am in the doubting stage again!
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice. I can't wait until we see butterflies and flowers in Kentucky instead of snow!
Yippee!! spring is soon to come.
Lovely flowers and a lovely butterfly.
Yes, early April is usually the bluebonnet season. It is 80 degrees F. here today.
Thanks for the link. It was wonderful to meet you and share some stories.
How nice to see a butterfly in January! Guess one has to be away from snow country! LOL!
Beautiful!
Great shots...I love the butterfly

Greetings from Portugal!
I have a friend in Texas that kids me about our cold and snow all the time!
Glad you could get away from the cold here and spend some time in warmer weather. The flowers and butterfly were indeed a pleasant surprise I'm sure.
I am hoping that Spring is just around the corner or where ever it is hiding. The flowers with the surprise butterfly are a joy to see. MB

Maybe you should have stayed in Texas! Looks lovely there and no snow. Beautiful flowers and butterfly.

How fun to capture the lovely butterfly with your flowers. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,
Well that isn't fair that they have such nice flowers and a butterfly to boot. I can't wait for spring to get here, but they say 6 more weeks
So cold here-makes it hard to believe things are blooming somewhere! Great pics.
I am SO ready for Spring! And, we haven't even had the nasty weather you guys have had back home!
