Bluebonnet Challenge Has Police Around Texas Feeling Pretty
Police officers all around Texas are sharing their best bluebonnet photos on social media to rave reviews.
Police officers across Texas are taking a break from fighting crime to smell the flowers as part of the #backtheBLUEbonnets challenge. Police departments from San Antonio, Grapevine, Mineral Wells, Cedar Hill, and Southlake, among others, have tweeted out photos of their officers laying in Texas' state flower with clever captions.
The photos have gone over swimmingly in each community, especially Mineral Wells. A photo of two Mineral Wells Police officers eating donuts among a patch of bluebonnets has been shared 74,000 times on Facebook.
"Felt cute might arrest someone later idk," Mineral Wells PD wrote.

We don't always need an hour for lunch...sometimes we use part of our break for meditation or reflection. #BackTheBLUEbonnets pic.twitter.com/EZzVftk1W6
