A Friday Bouquet of Riverside Flowers

San Antonio River, Mission Reach, Mission Rd Trailhead upstream

Today's photos:

Today was another beautiful, if somewhat warm, day for a walk along the river. As usual, there was more than enough to see and photograph. For now, here is a small assortment of flowers blooming along the river bank.

• The first photo is an overview that includes both Pink Evening Primrose and Bluebonnets.
• The second photo is Firewheel, also known as Indian Blanket.
• The third photo is a cluster of Bluebonnets. The bluebonnets are really beginning to blossom in abundance.
• The fourth through the seventh photos are Phlox.
• The eighth photo is False Dayflower.
• The ninth and tenth photos are Bluebonnets growing among the large erosion prevention rocks on the edge of the river bank. 

I am working on a very special St. Patrick's Day post that I want to be sure is ready to go online Sunday morning, so I will post more photos from today's walk next week.
