Every year, I get very excited when I see the first bluebonnets. We live in an area where there are tons of bluebonnets dotting the highways and fields and it always makes me happy.
On the other hand, I start obsessing about getting the "perfect bluebonnet picture". I believe this is harder than getting the perfect christmas picture. You have to do them around dusk or a cloudy day. It can't be cold, windy, or rainy. The kids have to be dressed just so. By the time everyone is dressed and in the car, it is often too dark for a good picture. I have to find a patch that is thick, but not on a major highway. I have to keep calming down the kids when they see a bug.
We attempted pictures last night. I found a nice patch in the subdivision where we own a lot. I started a little earlier in the day than I would have liked so they are just a tad too bright. I got some cute ones of Matthew and Mary Beth, but Thomas doesn't look as cute. Bless his heart, he is a beautiful child but he is not photogenic!
Two hours went by and I got a few that I liked. I think I will go out tonight and try again.
Had a thought.
