And the birds are singing their sonnets
You may look to the hills and the valleys
And they’re covered with lovely Bluebonnets.
~Julia D. Booth
Artist Julian Onderdonk (1882-1922) made a plethora of paintings starring fields of Texas bluebonnets. I find them soothing and uplifting.

I LOVE these paintings, plus the poem rhyming sonnets with bluebonnets -- but of course!
I agree...these works are very soothing. Beautiful landscapes. (And my favorite color is blue...as it bluebonnets. :-)
