It’s Memorial Day weekend, which means I have Monday off from work! Though I originally didn’t have big plans for it, I did end up doing some fun things:

• Hung out with a friend who was visiting for the weekend. He moved to California just 2 months ago, so I was glad he came back to see us 😀
• Saw Mad Max: Fury Road, which was a wild ride. So much action and kick-ass women!
• Played in a video game tournament with a team of 5 friends. (I can’t say which game because of NDA.) We didn’t win every game but did well enough to advance to the next one.
• Spent a lot of time indoors due to rain, booooo.

And lastly, took a photo for week 21 of my Project 52! As usual, here is the recap for the past 4 weeks.

#18 – Wildflowers
We finally had a weekend of nice weather, so I took a walk at the Bull Creek Greenbelt. I was hoping there’d be a lot of wildflowers blooming now, especially since I’ve been seeing them on the side of the highway. There weren’t many, but I did manage to find a patch of them near the river.

Spring is here and with it comes some great weather. It also comes with a lot of rain. I was going to say it’s unfortunate, but really, Texas usually needs the rain. And of course, it picks the weekends to rain on, which are the days I’d like to go out and take photos!

The plus side of being stuck indoors is that it forces me to practice with my speedlite flash. The first photo is an outdoors one, but the rest are indoors and use an external flash for the light source.

#14 – Bluebonnets
Bluebonnets are the state flower of Texas, and when spring comes around, they pop up everywhere. And I really do mean everywhere. They’re most commonly seen all over the grass strips next to roads and highways. There was a large patch of them next to the feeder road near my house, so I walked over to take some photos. More are in this gallery!

I am now a quarter of the way through my Project 52! The weather has been gorgeous lately, so this recap has more outdoors photos. I’m trying to enjoy it while I can before the dreaded Texas summer heat arrives.

As mentioned before, you can see the full set on my Flickr or Tumblr 🙂 Here is a recap of weeks 10-13!

#10 – Another Path
I was taking a walk through a nearby greenbelt when I came across this sign. It seems enough people ignored it that another path was created through repeated walks.
