It’s bluebonnet season in the Texas Hill Country, and the hunt is on! I’m in luck for photos to show because I’ve been hunting bluebonnets for years… For the first one, what is more iconic of this genre than bluebonnets and a windmill.
Texans like to decorate their property. Fancy gates are very popular. But some people also decorate their fence posts. I think it probably started with tin cans to keep the rain from rotting the top of the post, but old boots are nicer…
It’s especially nice when your truck matches your bluebonnets…
This one takes some work to find, and it’s better if you get there before people trample the wildflowers… Sometimes you have to walk around and find a better location to shoot from… There were lots of bluebonnets on the way to the bridge because people didn’t walk on this part…
My best selling bluebonnet photograph is the simplest one.
One of my personal favorite wildflower photographs has the bluebonnets only playing a “background” role…
Bluebonnets come in other colors too. They come in other colors besides blue, lighter blue, and white, but the other colors don’t work for me. After all, the name is bluebonnet. An albino one is OK to me…
Actually, I did photograph a bluebonnet this year. One of the few that had the courage to grow in our yard (“our” deer love to munch on bluebonneet blossoms).
