I have taken so many photographs and begun so many series of posts this month, publishing them all is going to take some time. I have been a bit concerned about all of the juxtapositions that will occur in posting "part 2's" in something of a random order. After giving this some thought, however, it occurred to me that my walk locations have meandered around Bexar County anyway.
Bexar County is home to four different eco-regions: Edwards Plateau, Blackland Prairie, South Texas Plains and Post Oak Savannah. Different flora and fauna predominate in each of the four regions, but there are no distinct boundaries. One region blends into the adjoining ones. While each of my posts is from a distinct area within the county, as an aggregate, the posts reflect this unique blend of eco-regions.
I probably should also mention that there are numerous non-native invasive species of both plants and animals in Bexar County such as Chinaberry trees, ligustrum (privet), Chinese tallow trees, etc. to name only a few. This is a topic I have briefly touched on in a few of the previous posts. Eventually, I will address this issue in a post dedicated to the topic.
With that introduction in mind, today's photos were taken on my walk from the Ingram Transit Center Trailhead, Leon Creek Greenway on May 4. This series features a sample of the numerous wildflowers I encountered:
