Texas Bluebonnets © 2015 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Texas Bluebonnets – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.
I’ve always heard the the bluebonnets are spectacular in the spring in Texas and that every wildflower lover has to see them at least once. And despite the fact that my parents lived in Texas for 25 years, until last year, I’d never made it to Texas in the spring to see them. Last spring, I decided it was time to see them for myself. I spent a wonderful week based in Austin – driving out each day in search of bluebonnets (and other wildflowers) to photograph. I found them – and they were magnificent.
This is one of my favorite photos that I took during the trip – a close up of the Texas Bluebonnets. I feel like it really gives the sense of what being in the middle of a group of bluebonnets is like, while showing the wonderful details of the individual flowers.
2014 may have been my first trip to Texas for the bluebonnets – but it certainly won’t be my last. I’m already thinking about going back next year 🙂
Texas Bluebonnets is available as a matted print on my website.

I’ll be editing the photos and offering some for sale over the next several months. But first, I want to share the incredible beauty I saw in Texas. These are quick edits I did on the road of some of my photos. I hope you enjoy seeing them.

Colorado Blue Columbine & Silvery Lupine © 2011 Patty Hankins
Last summer I spent a wonderful week in Colorado photographing wildflowers. Not only did I have a wonderful hiking in some National Forests, I discovered all sorts of new to me wildflowers. Two of my favorites were the Colorado Blue Columbine and the Silvery Lupine. I love the colors, the shapes and the textures in both flowers. So you can imagine how excited I was to spot some of each growing close enough together to that I could have both flowers in one photograph. This photograph of the Colorado Blue Columbine and Silvery Lupine is one of my favorite photos from the trip.

Columbine & Lupine (c) 2011 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Columbine & Lupine – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
Colorado Blue Columbine (Aquilegia caerulea) and Silvery Lupine (Lupinus argentus) quickly became favorite wildflowers of mine on my trip to Colorado last summer. Let’s face it – I love purple – so discovering new wildflowers in wonderful shades of purple was wonderful. Late one morning I was driving along one of the roads in the Gunnison National Forest and I spotted some a group of Columbines and Lupines growing right next to each other. So of course – I had to stop and set up my tripod on the side of the road. I did get a few strange looks from people driving by – they couldn’t figure out why I stopped at that particular location – and pointed my camera where it was pointed (there were some beautiful trees just across the street). But I’m glad I did stop – I really like this combination of the Colorado Blue Columbine and Silverly Lupine. I hope you enjoy it as well.
This photograph is available as either a 12X15 or 20X26 ″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Columbine & Lupine from my website and I will have it available at shows.
