Bluebonnets

Having your picture taken in bluebonnets is a Texas rite of passage. Every spring you see cars pulled over all along Texas highways and people crawling up purple embankments to get some good shots. Often, if you pay attention, you can see people- and family-sized holes in particularly thick sections, where all the flowers have been flattened by people sitting and crouching for their photo op.

Here are a few good ones from Cora's first bluebonnet experience.





She was so calm and happy the whole time. We had her out there for quite awhile, and she just sat there, posing, inspecting the flowers, and generally being her sunny, well-mannered self. We had a tougher time getting her to actually smile, but other than that, the kid is pure sunshine. I have a great video documenting this sweetness in action, but it won't upload correctly. Maybe next time.
