Bluebonnet Sunset
It's springtime in Texas. Even driving in the city, the medians &
shoulders of the highways are spotted & sometimes covered with a
wash of spring color. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity
this spring to make it out into the central Texas countryside so I am
cheating a bit & posting a photo I took with my 4x5 camera near
Ennis Texas last spring. While these days most of my photography is
done digitally with my Nikon, there is nothing like the detail in a
4x5. For perspective, while a good digital image these days is between
10 & 20 mega pixels, this image was originally scanned at 500 mega
pixels. I actually have a 40" by 50" print of this image
hanging in my dining room & you can see every leaf & petal.

that's gorgeous! I don't think we're having a great wildflower season this year. I haven't seen any great patches around Austin. I'm going to have google Ennis to see how far it is from Austin. Do you remember what road you were on when you took this?

This is just gorgeous!!! :) I can only imagine how beautiful that print must be!! :)
I'm up near Lampasas, and we barely have any wildflowers this year either... It's been pretty disappointing. There are little patches here & there in some of the highway medians, but other than that... nothing! I was even in Marble Falls last week, and nothing there worth noting either. Was sad to see the old German homestead out there without that wonderful sea of bluebonnets in front of it. Maybe next year ;)

Absolutely stunning! We shared this photo with our fans on Texas Bluebonnet Sightings and it's definitely one of the favorites! Thank you so much for sharing! If someone wants to purchase a print, how can they?

Your blue bonnet fotos are the best!
In Scotland in May flowers the blue bells and in Germany in summer the blue "Kornblumen"
