Have yet to go out in the country hunting bluebonnets but the good news is I found this early bud about ten feet out my front door :biggrin:. I'm hoping this will be a good year. The winter was relatively mild but the spring has been wet. Cold in the winter would have been better but so it goes. Texas in the spring is really a whole nuther country y'all! >=))>

Nicely composed w/in the portrait frame…fully exploiting each inch. Nice dof and blurred b/g.

A classic rendering, Bill - the dof is just perfect for bringing out the nearer buds and giving a strong focal point to the image. Composition, colour and detail all exemplary !!!

The colors work very well as does the angled bloom, Bill. This is a warm and inviting beauty.
