Beautiful Texas Bluebonnets – Independence, TX

My first official blog post on our photography blog..

This past weekend, Kelly and I were able to go out and “flock through the bluebonnets” so to speak. Actually, we had a photo shoot in Independence, Texas and bluebonnets happened to be the theme, hence the pictures below. Before we did the shoot, we had to get ourselves into the bluebonnet spirit, and what better way to do that than attend the 2008 Bluebonnet festival in Chappell Hill , Texas!!!! The only problem was once we got into the festival, we saw nothing that had to do with bluebonnets. We expected to see demonstrations like “how to make bluebonnet center pieces” or “how to make Bluebonnet Jelly”, but to no avail. It was mainly people selling crafts, turkey legs and Landshark beer which I did fork over 3 bucks to enjoy.

After we left the 2008 Bluebonnet festival, we met up with Tim, Maggie, and their 3 girls in Independence, Texas. We were told there were a lot of bluebonnets in this small town. We finally found Old Baylor Park and several patches of bluebonnets within the park. Here are some of our favorite pictures. The first one was taken by me (Not Kelly).
