Tips to remember when going to take Wildflower photos.
1. Watch out for snakes and fire ants when posing ... standing, sitting and especially laying down taking photos.
2. Don't take photos on the side of a major highway. Safety first.
3. Be aware of private property before walking through the wildflower 'field'.
4. Prepare before you go by taking your allergy medication. Bring tissues. You never know when nature's beauty might bring on the sneezes and allergy attacks. Be prepared to help avoid the ruin of 'your perfect' Wildflower moment photo opp!
Most important ... DON'T PICK THE WILDFLOWERS! Leave them be for the the seeds to fly free for next year photo opportunities. Keep Central Texas / Texas Wildflowers growing Y'all! Happy Spring!
