Looking for Bluebonnets

Every April, Texas fields and roadways come alive with our beautiful state flower, the Bluebonnet. And every April, you will see families plopping their kids in the middle of a patch of bluebonnets to get a great picture. And we are no exception. Of course, it always helps if your model is willing to cooperate with your plans.







With much patience, we finally got a few good pictures of Nicholas in the bluebonnets. However, we might try it again with better lighting. I really don't like the "raccoon-eyes" shadows that you get with outdoor pictures in the middle of the day.







After our little photo shoot, we all walked along a trail by the lake. Nicholas had fun trying to catch butterflies.









Here's a great shot Stuart got of a bee approaching a bluebonnet.



I zoomed in on the bee in this same picture. What a great picture of the bee in flight!
