Soldier Springs

We have been back to our neighborhood park, Soldier Springs, the last few days.


We were hunting a 3 part letterbox series in memorial to the soldiers who once drank at the springs during the Civil War, hence the name.


We found one part. The park has been cleared as of late, and we think the other 2 parts may have been cleared with some of the brush and trees.


But it seems, as is often the case, Mother Nature provided us with some jewels of her own to make up for the loss.



Stephen spotted this cardinal
among the blossoming Redbud.
He also took the picture.



And the first bluebonnets
of the season are showing themselves.
This is to hoping there are
oceans of blue in our
Texas fields this year.
