It's that time of the year again! Bluebonnets are in full bloom and it's hard to resist taking photos with these beauties, especially for springtime Easter photos.

But please exercise caution before you strike a pose. Here are some safety tips from the Texas Department of Public Safety:

• Always signal before leaving or entering the roadway.
• Park off the roadway, parallel to the road in the direction of traffic.
• Park on the same side of the roadway that the flowers are on.
• Don’t cross lanes of traffic on foot to get to the wildflowers.
• Obey all signs that prohibit parking on the roadway.

Also, watch out for snakes. We are in Texas, after all.
