The Last Day of Winter?

Saturday, March 19, 2016

Does this look like the last day of winter?

In South Texas, this weather is not all that surprising. A cold front came through last night just in time to remind us the time of year it really is. The front brought more rain and dropped temperatures somewhat below normal.

But this change in weather will be brief and not at all a problem for the Bluebonnets, Pink Evening Primrose, Mealy Blue Sage, Common Sunflower, Prairie Verbena, Seven-spotted Ladybug, Skipper butterfly and Gulf Fritillary butterfly, or any of the other flora and fauna flourishing now.

These photos were taken along the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River upstream from the upper Mission Road trailhead to just past the pavilion on Monday, March 14, 2016.
