It's Kind of Famous

This stone house is in Marble Falls and probably thousands of people every year come to shoot it and to have portraits taken in the field in front of it (outside the barbed wire).  I have seen it on calendars and notecards.  I have a cousin who lives in Indiana and is a photographer and she came down one spring and shot it.   This year the Bluebonnets are not nearly as plentiful as they have been in the past, which was surprising to me since the area has had so much rain.  Rain must not be the only factor that affects the flowers, or maybe they just were not at peak yet last week.  But the road that leads to our lakehouse is covered in Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush, yellow flowers, and even pink and lavender ones, so the conditions were great a few miles away. However, it is a two lane road with no shoulders so not safe to stop and photograph.  Every year the Marble Falls house gets a little more decrepit and I hope that soon it is saved before it is too far gone. It would make a great bed and breakfast or restaurant.
