HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This is my favorite post from 2007. I like it because a bluebonnet is so unique to Texas and I just love seeing them bloom each year I’ve lived here. Before I moved here, I never realized how beautiful a blue flower could be. Now the bluebonnet stops me every time I see it, whether it is a single bloom as it is here or in a field among thousands.
For our January 2008 Theme Day, there are 118 other city bloggers participating so be sure to take a little trip around the world!

That is so pretty---that flower is a beautiful color! I would have wanted to take a photo, too. :)

Happy New Year from Patty and me.
Incredible color in this shot! No wonder it is a favorite.
The Blue Bonnet is gorgeous!
My favorite of your three picks is your third runner up. The rushing water and the fog are awesome.
Happy New Year Thien!
Thanks for your visits and comments at Country Captures in 2007.

It's a true and vivid colour. You photographed it well to its best advantage!
excellent theme choice
happy new year
Superbe ! It's for sure a very blue flower but, I love the Decembre 31st shot as well. What a contrast. Thank you for taking part in the City Daily Photo community.
Bonne année de Paris!
The first time I saw a bluebonnet in person was when I visited Johnson's Ranch in Austin, TX - they are fabulous!
Happy New Year, Thiên!
I too have been blessed to see fields of bluebonnets. It's a sight to behold, one totally unforgettable. Thanks for your photo.
Bluebonnets are beautiful! Good choice, and Happy New Year!
You really captured the true color of Texas bluebonnets in your wonderful shot. I have to agree with Eric that your runner up photo, with its contrasting yellow, and all those icicles is a great contrast. A very happy 2008 to you, with good health and many wonderful moments to treasure.

May 2008 bring you good health & happiness,

Hmmm... I just want to get closer to the screen and capture its fragrance!
Happy New Year from New York City, Thien! May 2008 bring you lots of happiness and satisfaction!
The Bluebonnet is truly beautiful!
I wish you a Happy New Year! All the best in 2008. :)
Is Seguin deriving from a French name ?
Happy new year and long life to your blog.
Such a lovely shot of blue flowers!
I look forward to visiting your blog more often this 2008. And you're welcome to mine, too! For some reason, my link was not included in the participating blogs for the 1st of January 2008 theme day. Sorry I wasn't able to visit your blog sooner. I was in transit the whole of yesterday. I am now back in Norwich after the most fantabulous time at home in Manila.
Happy New Year to you and everyone you hold dear!
