I miss posting daily and I have not stopped photographing. I have now accumulated a backlog of photographs so I thought it would be a good idea to post one every now and then. This photograph was taken last weekend at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. It was a rainy day so the conditions were not ideal. Fortunately, there were many Texas Wildflowers to choose from and I chose this bunch of Texas Bluebonnets because I liked the composition against the dead grass in the background. A symbol that spring has sprung and what has passed will be new again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website Update<\/strong>: The hosting provider that I use gave me a 7-10 day business day window to migrate my site to the new servers. As of this writing, that has not occurred. When it does, I will need to spend some time debugging and testing. If the new servers are faster (which they said they would be) I will complete the migration process and post on a more regular basis. For now, I am standing by waiting&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11680\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11680\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170311-lbj-wildflower-center-ae01-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11680\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/texas-bluebonnets\/attachment\/11680\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170311-lbj-wildflower-center-ae01-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,844\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
