Texas Windmill with Prickly Poppies - Another capture from the texas hill coutnry of this windmill with the cedar fence and poppies growing through out. On our wildflower journey through the hill country we came across this cedar fence with poppies growing and this windmill with the texas hill as a back drop on this nice spring day. In the texas hill country these cedar fences are quite popular because cedar is plentiful and most consider it be an invasive bush, so what better use than make a fence out of it. One of the feature of cedar is the way the bark stark shredding and peeling off. Most don't bother to shave the fence like these. With the poppies it create this rural texas country scene with the texas windmill and poppies through out the area, with the light green trees in the back ground which are the texas mesquite tree. We were out looking for the texas wildflowers when we came across this iconic Texas scenery all the way down to the prickly poppies growing throughout the area. The poppies are found in the southwestern united state and a hardly plant that can overtake an area without much difficulty given time.
