Tree Limbs Frame the Bluebonnet Farmhouse

Tree Limbs Frame the Bluebonnet Farmhouse - Well surprise, surprise the bluebonnet house in Marble Falls had a bumper crop of bluebonnets this year. Many call this the Marble Falls Bluebonnet house and some just call it the bluebonnet farm house or bluebonnet house, well whatever you call it a photographers dream. People come from all over to capture it. We capture this view right after sunset with some colors over the bluebonnet house from the street view which shows a different side and used the tree limbs to frame the farmhouse with some prickly pear cactus and a colorful sky from sunset. We decided since you never know when this could end up with a gas station on it we better get several angles so we took lot of different views. To begin with we thought this was never going to happen ever again! We had gone by for the last three or four years and the bluebonnets did not look good they were few bluebonnets and they were weedy with way too many poppies so we skipped it. The previous owner did not care for the all the people it attracted because many trespassed so he mowed them down and used other methods to surpress their growth, but this year they looked like they looked years ago. I guess the new owner is going to allow this to continue to happen, as they looked great. People come from all over to take photos of this old abandon farmhouse that is now mostly used for his cattle. Possibly since the bluebonnets came out early this year they were able to beat the grasses and poppies for some of the best field in years. The story I have heard about this old stone farmhouse was that it was built in 1853 by Logan Vandeveer using lime stone which was unusual at that time per the deed in the area that it was registered under and was sold later on and is what has allowed it to be still standing today. The roof and other parts are starting to deteriate and fall in but it doesn't deter us from photographing, it just adds to the charm of this wonderful old stone farm house in the Texas Hill Country.
