My day on the Bolivar Peninsula was mostly dreary weather-wise, but the light was excellent for photographing detail, as in these Texas Paintbrush flowers that lined many of the roads at the tip of the peninsula. After I had passed about my dozenth stand of them, I managed to get the car off the road in a sheltered spot and take a few photos. They are beautiful flowers, intense enough for even a dull day.
