Generally Speaking

Japan is world famous for its flower viewing parties. You might be surprised to know that Texas is also famous for flower viewing. However, Texas doesn't have cherry blossoms. It's famous for it's bluebonnets. And Texans don't have parties under the trees to enjoy the blossoms; we drive down the highways and backroads. Taking photographs of the bluebonnets is a popular activity, especially photographs of children sitting in the middle of the bluebonnets.
