Wild Flowers 2001 |
The following pictures were taken April of 2001 on a Wild Flower trip that my good friend, Mark Egan, and I took. Unfortunately, the Bluebonnets were past peak. Still it was a trip filled with beautiful flowers.

| Taken South West of Austin, Tx. Taken on Minolta 400si 300mm zoom lens. A Tobacco Graduated Filter was used. | Taken near Fayetteville, Tx. Taken with my Minolta 400si as all the pictures on this page are. 35-70mm lens used. | ||

In the Company of Bluebonnets |
Bluebonnet Bridge |
||
| Taken South West of Austin, Tx. This was taken at the same location as above. 300mm zoom lens used. | Taken near Fayetteville, Tx. Taken with 35-70mm lens set to 35mm. Then my Ultra-Wider was added for this effect. I like this one because it tells a story of a fence, a photographer, and flowers. (Yes, that's my friend in the background.) | ||

The Stump |
Bluebonnet Story |
||
| I can't remember where we were when I took this picture. I was experimenting with my Ultra-Wider on buildings. | This is another experiment with the Ultra-Wider. I moved in closer with this one. | ||
|
With all Grace |
With all Grace2 |
||
| This was a close-up using my 300mm macro lens. The enlargement does not have the lettering on it. | This shot came out a little dark. It was taken with my 35-70mm lens with the Ultra-Wider. | ||
|
Indian Paintbrush |
Bluebonnet Fence |
||
| This was taken with my 300mm lens to capture a pond that was unreachable and surrounded by Bluebonnets. | I took this shot because it looked like Mark was wading in flowers. 300mm zoom lens. | ||
|
Bluebonnet Pond |
Wading in Flowers |
||
| This shot was taken by getting down into a ditch, which left me eye level with the flowers. It was taken with my 35-70mm lens with the Ultra-Wider because I was very close to the flowers. | This was a pretty tight arrangement of flowers, mostly yellow. I thought it was interesting because of the thickness of the yellow separated by the blue with the company of a few painbrushes. | ||

In the Company of Bluebonnets |
Field of Gold with Company of Blue |
||
| What can I say about this one? I had never seen this type of flower to my knowledge and wanted it on film. | This was taken in Fayette County, Tx. To show the span of flowers on the country side I used my 35mm and Ultra-Wider. | ||
|
Pretty in Purple |
Field of Bluebonnet Dreams |
||
| Taken near Fayetteville. Taken on 35mm with Ultra-Wider on. | This was taken with my 35-70mm set at 35. The Ultra-Wider was on to catch more of the field. An amber filter was put on to change the plain flat sky that we had. Now I have a gray grad. filter (thanks to Mark). | ||
|
Fields of Blue |
Special Blue |
||
| I have a thing for the number three. I like any composition where objects of three are grouped. Hence, this picture. | Another shot of the flowers and fence. I liked the idea of the old rusted fence and the bright and lively flowers at the base. | ||
|
Three in color |
Blue Fence |
||
| This picture is again of the fence, but it's a little busy. | I thought this was an interesting shot because of the white grouping of related species to the bluebonnet. | ||
|
Don't Fence me In |
White in Blue |
||
| I took this to show the variation of paintbrushes. |
I was out investigating a developing storm and saw these flowers on the side. I put on the Ultra-Wider and got down with the flowers for this shot. |

Red and White |
Primrose Perspective |
||
| These pink flowers were just to stunning to pass up. Notice the cluster of three. | |||
