We're quickly approaching the half way point of my personal photography project, it's week 23 with the theme blue. As I'm just now delivering the last of the albums and artwork from my bluebonnet sessions, it didn't take me long to think of a "blue post". Spring time in Texas means the hills, and highways thanks to Lady Bird Johnson, are lined with our state flower, the Texas bluebonnet. I even took my own dog Ginger out into the fields a couple of times. You'll get a good laugh at our attempt at a "sunrise" portrait below, spring time in Texas also means thunderstorms and we got home just as the heavens let loose. Of course there were children and family portraits too, but this is a pet photography blog challenge, so it's just the furries here.
Enjoy a few of the many bluebonnet portraits we made in 2018!

Uly - Love, love, love. Here in Wisconsin we have Lupines, which are just about ready to be in full bloom (we're a tad behind Texas!!!). Beautiful shots!
