Take a Wildflower Photo Tour of Kingsland

Wildflowers and bluebonnets engulf Kingsland every spring, giving us a nearly two-month window to enjoy their beauty. You can follow my wildflower tour of Kingsland beginning in Llano and heading toward Kingsland on Texas 29 and then south on RR 1431.

There's not much more of a Texan scene than bluebonnets and cactus growing together next to railroad tracks just off CR 321 outside Kingsland. Photo by Karla Held
Continuing down the road, turn west on FM 3404 to “The Slab” and see wildflowers all along that road and on the banks of the Llano River. The Slab is also a good spot for a quick dip.

While looking to the ground for wildflowers, remember to catch the beautiful sunsets, too. The old Inks Lake Bridge perpendicular to Texas 29 is open to pedestrians and makes a great subject for photography. Photo by Karla Held
