Bluebonnets

It was Good Friday and very quickly overcast. When I say we jumped in the car to go do this, I mean it. Look at how excited Derek was to do this last minute change in the schedule for the day:



I had just come home with this shirt, and Justin immediately fell in love with it and demanded he wear this for his photos.


You can't blame him, he is three after all. I brought along a chair and tried different poses. Some were pretty awkward.


Justin was just too high above the flowers with the chair, so we quickly ditched it.


Ah, much better. I fell in love with the out-of-focus flowers in these photos. I know the point is to showcase the state flower, but I felt like these photos gave this aura around the focus point in the middle, Mr-Work-the-Camera.


I tried to get in on the action. The glare of the sun was starting back in.


We were literally in the middle of a median by Memorial Park off Wescott, so we had roads, apartments, cars, etc. that we had to avoid in the photos.


My boys, and they both somehow coordinate. Derek had done this on accident though it makes me smile. Is that kid holding a stray bluebonnet? Isn't that against the law?


Another attempt by the newest Michaelis photographer. This boy needs a lighter camera - he nearly dropped it on this photo.


The final artistic shot by JT.


See you next year, lovely bluebonnets!
