Spring Delivers a Riot of Color Spring 2001 burst into Texas this year with a wash of blue and orange across the hills. It seems that all the elements were right for one of the prettiest hill country Springs in years. Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrushes, Buttercups and more danced in the clear, crystal light of cool, breezy days. There seems to not be enough hours in the day to create all the images that run rampant in our heads. In the domesticated gardens, the callas and iris abound along with geraniums, wisteria, salvia, impatiens, periwinkle, pansies, and begonias.
Roses burst from burgeoning limbs.
Color so riotous that it is hard to imagine is found around every turn. Spring is here. Yes, house and studio are well above the water line and fortunately, no trees fell. Many Houstonians are without home, food, clothes, or income. It is truly a sad event.
