The photos shown in this post were taken on a previous trip to Texas during the bloom. The enjoyment is getting out and seeing these displays of nature and appreciating the time outdoors.
Sometimes I succeed and oftentimes I look at the photos and they look similar to all of the others. Bluebonnet season, like the fall aspen season, is always a joy to see even if you have been to the same area year after year and taken hundreds of photos of the event.Īs a photographer, I am always looking for that unique angle, shot, or location that make a photo stand out from the others. I have photographed the bluebonnets several time through the years but will not be in the area this year to see the blooms as we are traveling west this spring. Generally, the last week of March and the first week of April are prime time to expect to see the flowers in bloom. Blooms in the Texas hill country west of the Austin and San Antonio area can start around the first of March and can last through April. The timing of the blooming season for the wildflowers are somewhat predictable but there are several factors which determine how many blooms and the exact timing and length of the colorful season. Many use the fields of bluebonnets as a backdrop for family photos or photos of the children as they mingle about in the blanket of color. The bluebonnet season is prime time for photographers to take advantage of the colorful surroundings. The bluebonnet season is similar to the fall color season in the Rockies where many venture from their homes in search of the most colorful aspens. The popular flower is a member of the lupine family and can be found in many areas in the state every spring. The bluebonnet was named the state flower of Texas in 1901. The lupinus texensis, commonly known as bluebonnets are the star of the show while Indian paintbrush and other wildflowers provide contrast and color to the blankets of blue landscape. You know its Spring when the bluebonnets and other wildflowers begin their annual display of colorful blooms along the highways and across the landscape throughout Texas. The blooms are always beautiful but time of day and other factors such as this old gate add another dimension in the framing of this field of flowers.
