It’s amazing how much beauty you can find in simplicity. These wild flowers are so pretty! Bluebonnets are my favourite of this bunch.
Knowing that these beautiful things are growing quietly somewhere as we speak is a wonderful thought. Thanks for sharing.
Indeed, these quiet, unassuming wildflowers are beautiful in their own right.
