We were supposed to have 2 T-ball games last night, but it rained and lightened {for all of 5 minutes} just before the games and they called them. My parents, sister and 2 nephews were already on their way into town to watch Mason's games so we met them for supper instead. After supper we got Mason a vanilla milkshake and Nate and I got a protein shake and were on our way. Nate passed the entrance to our neighborhood and I knew he had a plan!! He drove us out to the Bristol area to see bluebonnets!!
In case you didn't know...bluebonnets are a HUGE deal here in Texas!! Every year around this time you see families everywhere out taking pictures in them. you have about a 3-4 week span where you can do this. That's all! I just love this time of year!! Click {here} to see our Bluebonnet post from last year.
It was after 7 when we started the trail, so we were racing the sunset. But, we didn't mind. The views were AMAZING!!! And the sky was amazing, too. We fell in love with the area and felt like we were in the Texas Hill Country at times! There were so many nice homes and ranches. We half-joked about selling our house and moving over there.
We didn't take any pictures of Mason because he was in his T-Ball uniform. And also because we plan to go to the actual Bluebonnet festival this weekend. We will be ready for pictures then! Also, these were all taken on my iPhone. I will take my big camera when we go back.
Have you taken Bluebonnet pics this year? Also, do you watermark your pictures? I normally don't, but have had people stealing my pics lately. :(
How gorgeous!! Yes, like you, I've just recently started watermarking. It's a shame to feel like you have to. :(
ReplyDeleteI just did a post with our bluebonnet pictures! They are so pretty (until they are trampled by people). I don't watermark my blog photos. I haven't had any stolen (that I know of), so I'm not sure how I'd react. Sorry to hear people have taken yours...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the blue bonnets, too!! I take my girls pics in the fields every year!!! So neat!! Glad to find your blog through the link-up on FB!
ReplyDeleteThey're so pretty. I wish we had some here.
ReplyDeleteThis year is the first I've heard of these... new friends in TX!!! They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do watermark aaaaallll of my photos! I want to make sure people know where to find me if they see one! :)
So beautiful! I'd love to see it in person! Can't wait to see more of your pictures. How did you find out people were stealing your pics? I've been wondering about that.
ReplyDeleteGoregous even with an iPhone camera. Can't wait to see the pictures from the festival. :)
ReplyDeleteLove love LOVE Bluebonnet season in TX! Nate and I took a few candids a couple of weekends ago. Gorgeous! I usually don't watermark my photos, but just started recently using my blog button/logo. That stinks that people are stealing your pictures! They are REALLY good, but sheesh: they need to take their own photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are beautiful! I don't think that we have them here, but people do the same thing with cherry blossoms where I live. I don't usually watermark my pictures. I did when I first started blogging, but had someone steal my picture and remove the watermark, so it was then I realized that if people are going to be lousy enough to steal, they are going to do it, watermark or not. Sorry to hear people have been stealing your pictures, what a pain.
ReplyDeleteugh people are lame for stealing your pics. I mean to watermark...and never remember. I need to make one and remember to use it.
ReplyDeleteI always find the bluebonnet season so funny! Sure is pretty though. I just love how everybody invades the bluebonnets for pics. Have fun at the festival!
How pretty!!! I have to admit that I should watermark, but never do because it's a pain in the butt. One tip though is to watermark it where it can't be cropped out and is slightly transparent so that it doesn't take away fro. The picture, but can't just be dropped out as well.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! And my favorite color! :) I don't believe we have those down here... darn!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous!!! And you took those with your iphone??! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to water mark my pictures... but I don't really know how and I keep forgetting. How did you find out someone was stealing your pictures? I'm terrified of that happening to me with pictures of Mason!
Those pictures were amazing taken with your iphone!!! Looks like a rain delayed game turned into a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS! And amazing that they're with your phone.
ReplyDeleteI don't watermark my photos, but keep hearing from other bloggers that it's kind of a must to do so…
Gorgeous! Wow, what iphone do you have? I still can't figure out how to get my pictures from my phone to my blog - My pictures never look that amazing! You definitely have a talent :)
