It's bluebonnet time in Texas!

All the photos are beautiful!

I sew dresses, and made a couple for a customer in Texas when it was "bluebonnet" time. I GET it now!!!

If I remember correctly from my days in DFW, there was a really good spot at 20 and Mountain Creek Pkwy. You could park in the Target lot and get to them with out having to stop on the highway.

Target is actually at Carrier and 20 (I live an exit up the road). There are usually some really good spots where 20 and spur 408 meet (the big hill), but they're really trampled down already. As is the case all along 20 in Grand Prairie.

OP--your shots are great. The colors really pop. Here is my attempt from this year. We went out in the middle of the day, and the sun is pretty harsh. I'd like to try again in the evening, but I have to mail my camera back to amazon this week.

I get my best shots this time of year. especially between Brenham and Giddings, around 6:30p to 7:00p with very cool sunsets starting at 8:15pm

The Bluebonnets are making an early appearance this year!

These are great! We don't have these in abundance in my area, but I am going to Houston in 2 weeks. We will have 4 days in which we are doing the City Pass then going for an afternoon to the beach, then getting on the Carnival Magic.

So my questions are: Any chance I might run into some of these? Anyone know of good areas there? I see a couple of bees in the photos, are they thick in the plants? We have clover here that the bumble bees love so we avoid it (I am allergic).

I love Bluebonnet season as much as I love Christmas and the 4th of July!!! I've had to drive my inlawss to Andrews, TX (West Texas) the last 2 weekends from the DFW area. There were so many places along I20 that had bluebonnets. I love to take my DSs pictures in them, but am so paranoid of rattlesnakes.

. There are bluebonnets up by where we live in Spring and there also some near Memorial Park in Houston.
FWIW - that was the same bee in both pictures. And he was the only one around.

I did a shoot for a bunch of people on Sunday morning. I set everything up and then ran the kids through. It was fun. This shot is of my kids. Yes, I know that they are in dire need of a haircut.

I'm going out with the Woodland Photography Group in a couple of weeks to shoot some more. Sign up and join us if you are in the area.

Hmmm, that is very tempting!! I will have to check with the DW.

Mine were pretty rushed this year. Here's this year's best pic:

edited.... I uploaded the wrong stupid picture. I'll come back later with it. Sigh.
