This just doesn't happen

Yesterday it was a beautiful spring day, and this year due to the rain we've gotten, the bluebonnets are plentiful. So I decided almost on a whim to load up the family and go for an "adventure" in a field and take photos. NEVER would I have dreamed that we would get this many good ones, especially in under 45 minutes. I'm sure it helped that I promised candy at the end if the boys cooperated, but still. I went in hoping to get a couple of keepers. The boys all amazed me with their patience and enthusiasm.

We put the camera on a tripod and Chuck tripped the shutter with a remote. This was the first shot.






I loved that Chuck caught this since I know this stage will be fleeting...


And this one too.


This is my favorite.


And since Easter is next Sunday...






I can't guarantee all of bluebonnets are still intact, but for those in San Antonio, this is the SE corner of I 10 and 1604.

{Photog friends - How do the colors look? On my uncalibrated laptop they look too blue. (I processed on my calibrated PC) Is it that way to you? And the solar flare shot - I can't seem to tone down the orange without it looking strange... Advice/ constructive criticism welcome!}
