Texas Bluebonnets

We attempted our annual Texas bluebonnet pics. This year was very difficult. Patrick came with me, and we quickly realized 3 year olds at 5 pm without a nap were not going to smile for the camera. Wait, they didn't even acknowledge the camera. So I have some pictures that captured their real moods.

Oh, and a tip for those that have DSLR's. Put your aperature on 10-13 (that's what I read post photo attempts) if you want the bluebonnets to really pop. I had mine really open at 2.8 and the flowers are very blurry. I'm used to always wanting blurry background (bokeh), but it just looks bad with flowers, in my opinion. A re-do is definitely on my mind.

I love this pictures of Natalie. I can remember feeling like this when I was a kid during pictures.
