Texas Bluebonnets © 2015 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Texas Bluebonnets – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.
I’ve always heard the the bluebonnets are spectacular in the spring in Texas and that every wildflower lover has to see them at least once. And despite the fact that my parents lived in Texas for 25 years, until last year, I’d never made it to Texas in the spring to see them. Last spring, I decided it was time to see them for myself. I spent a wonderful week based in Austin – driving out each day in search of bluebonnets (and other wildflowers) to photograph. I found them – and they were magnificent.
This is one of my favorite photos that I took during the trip – a close up of the Texas Bluebonnets. I feel like it really gives the sense of what being in the middle of a group of bluebonnets is like, while showing the wonderful details of the individual flowers.
2014 may have been my first trip to Texas for the bluebonnets – but it certainly won’t be my last. I’m already thinking about going back next year
Texas Bluebonnets is available as a matted print on my website.
