Gruene Dance Hall B W

Gruene Dance Hall B W – Gruene Hall in black and white, This area outside of New Braunfels is an old German community by Ernest Gruene which is also the towns name, oh it is prononced “Green”. Now this area is part of New Braunsfel and is the oldest dance hall in Texas built somewhere in the late 1878 as a social gathering place and a saloon for the cotton farmers in Gruene. Tx. Gruene Hall is still in buisness today with a saloon and dance hall.  It still has that vintage feel of an old Texas dance hall.  The water tower stands behind the dance hall in this image on a nice cloudy day. We like the contrast of the black and white in this image. Also available in color.

Lake Travis Sunset from Above

Lake Travis Sunset from Above – Captured this image of Lake Travis at sunset from an aerial perspective. Lake Travis is the beginning of the Texas Hill Country. Lake Travis is also a popular place for people in Austin and nearby areas to come boating, swimming, fishing or whatever water sport you like to do. Maybe you just want to hang out and watch the sun go down and drink a rita at the Oasis. Its all good on the lake! You can the edge of the Oasis in this image with it many decks for endless sunset views. Many refer to this area as the big bowl of the lake because many other areas are narrow as they part of the highland lakes which is a group of joining rivers in the area.

Texas Wildflowers Along the Fence

Texas Wildflowers Along the Fence – A field of Texas wildflowers along the fence in the hill country. The Texas hill country has some of the best wildflowers that appear from March through late summer. The indian blankets are some some of my favorite because they do seem to create a blanket effect over this area. The indian blanket or mexican hats grow to about two feet tall which allows them to be above the grasses.  There are a mix of indian blankets and some yellow wildflowers that appear to be part of the aster family maybe bear foot. In any case Texas has some of the best spring wildflower in a natural landscape around.

Sunset Over Hill Country Bluebonnets

Sunset Over Hill Country Bluebonnets – These Texas hill country bluebonnets capture the natural way wildflower grow every spring in this area. We captured this sunset sky over a field of Texas hill country bluebonnets with a backdrop of mesquite, oaks, and cedar trees. This was a hugh field of Texas bluebonnets on this ranch land that seem to pop at the end of the season after a rain event that seem to renew the wildflowers. We came back here many times because there were so many texas bluebonnets wildflowers for miles and miles in this area. These bluebonnets with a few poppies made a lovely texas landscape scene in the hill country. We love our bluebonnet in Texas but you never know where they might come up one year they will be so plentiful in some area and the next year you come back to the same area and nothing. Its always a mystery as to where they will show up we have been known to drive hundreds of miles looking for them every spring.

Texas Hill Country Wildflowers 2 

Texas Hill Country Wildflowers 2 – We came back to this location several times to capture Texas wildflowers as it was one of the better fields we found this year. This nice hill country image has bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush along hill so it was a nice look with the blue sky and wispy clouds. Texas hill country wildflowers are our favorite to capture because they are always are in such a natural setting. Texas wildflowers are very unpredictable as to where you will see them from one year to the next. We have gone to fields of bluebonnet that seem to be endless one year and the next year, not a flower in site This year was no exception except we had a lot of rain which did cause the grass to overtake the bluebonnets in some areas. This was one of the best locations this year so we came back several times. 3831

Texas Backroad Bluebonnets

Texas Backroad Bluebonnets – We found this back country road in the Texas hill country with these lovely bluebonnets along this county road. This was our second trip to the area with a blue sky which gave us some nice contrast on the flowers. We had been traveling many of the backroad in the hill country looking for bluebonnets and wildflower before we found this road and we really like the bluebonnets in this area. Texas wildflowers are a seasonal thing that last a few weeks and one thing we have learn is that just when you think they have all gone to seed you may have a section somewhere that pops up later like these along this road. This too will pass as we notice they were starting to go seed by our seccond trip two days later so maybe we will see them again next year. We can only hope!

Bluebonnet Railroad Tracks Sunrise

Bluebonnet Railroad Tracks Sunrise – We have come to this old abandoned rail road track in the past years, but this year instead of catching a sunset we decided to try for a sunrise and we got lucky. Today we had a great sunrise over this railroad tressel right before the sunrise pop over the horizon with some fantastic colors. I managed to get a few shot before some heavyier clouds moved in the predawn but cleared a bit for a sunrise shot later on. Any case the pre dawn sunrise over these bluebonnets were a great catch in the Texas hill country. Texas bluebonnets at the rail road track in the texas hill country is alway a reason to celebrate! We love our Texas Wildflowers that Lady Bird Johnson promote heavily in our state part of the highway beautification from fifty years ago.

Bluebonnet Railroad Tracks Sunrise – We have come to this old abandoned rail road track in the past years, but this year instead of catching a sunset we decided to try for a sunrise and we got lucky as the bluebonnets were much better today. This great early morning sunrise colors over this railroad tressel right before the sun game up gave some fantastic colors over these tracks with bluebonnets. I managed to get a few shot before some heavyier clouds moved in the predawn but cleared a bit for a sunrise shot later on. Any case the pre dawn sunrise over these bluebonnets were a great catch in the Texas hill country. Texas bluebonnets are a favorite subject of ours to photograph but add a sunrise over the tracks and bluebonnet and you can beat it.  Always a good day in the Texas hill country where you can find bluebonnets and other texas wildflowers growing.
