Wall to wall blue, I love it. Nothing better than spring. Great eye and capture Bill, really nice.

Long time no train? Good example how the mother nature can take over. I like this nice colour palette.

Great spring shot!
Lovely colors, and the tracks add interest.

Gorgeous shot Bill. Love the mix of flowers and cactus as well as the depth the tracks provide.

Bill, what a wonderful capture. A testament to how Mother Nature will reclaim what Man has built given time. A wonderful study of Man and Nature. Two thumbs up sir.

Wonderful scene brilliantly captured Bill. Amazing viewpoint with the lines going all the way. The splash of reds and blue is very captivating as well...

Hope they let up on you at work Bill, but it seems you still found time to go out and relax with your favorite bonnets. The way they are growing up over the rails this line must not see much traffic or is abandoned. The tracks do give a feeling of sweep and movement through the image. My only nit and it's a minor matter of taste is the DOF is giving a surreal tad of blurriness to the back ground. It does make the foreground pop though.

What an interesting shot Bill! I normally don't like an OOF background in a landscape, but it works perfectly here by exaggerating the sweep of the composition. It really gives a feeling of "on down the line." The comp is perfect, and the sprinkling of red and cacti are a nice bonus. Well done!

Really nice, Bill!

Wonderful lines framed nicely with the blue and red, and I like your DOF choice here too. Love it Bill.

Nice capture, Bill. Gotta love Texas Hill Country in the spring. Looks like you've got some Indian Paintbush there, too.

Those bluebonnets sure like the tracks . . . I notice the paintbrush takes over a few feet to the right of the rails after the gravel ends. A very pretty spring scene. I like the graceful curve of the rails leading the eye through the scene.

I never met such a a big surprise. Luck helps good photographers; it's true. I love this photo, Bill.
I am glad for you. You'll enjoy choosing the photo of the week: so many beautiful photo this week on the best floral site in the world.
Cheers.

great comp and colors....love where this one goes

I love the curve of the RR track, Bill. That, IMO, is the show stopper

I love the reds showing up along the tracks and to the right! Great shot, Bill!

I love the sweeping curve of the railroad tracks and the blue wildflowers, Bill. The couple of red flowers nestled among the sea of blue is a real attention getter. Beautifully done.

Ed

An idyllic slice of Americana, Bill. Love it.

Very nice image; wonderful colours. The lines of the track add a lot to the scene.

I've spent more than a little time walking along railroad tracks and those, with no rust to speak of, look like they're still being used regularly. This is a lovely shot.

It really makes me wish I was there.

I love your composition here Bill; beautiful scene!
