blue-hour bluebonnets 💙
📷 Captured these blue beauties a few evenings ago when I finally found a decent patch of flowers. It turns out I got super spoiled with the super-bloom two years ago when we moved to Texas. I mean, it was one heck of a first impression, that’s for darn sure. But after a long drought and the warmer air temperatures already creeping in, this year’s bloom is much more scarce — upping the challenge level for those of us who like to enjoy the wildflowers.
It’s all good though, challenges keep the journey from getting stale. 👍

Rookery Stairs - I did a bit of research before going to Chicago. I only had a few hours so there was a limit to what I could photograph. I chose a few places within a short walk of where I'd be centered. One of those places was the Rookery, a building redesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright. There are many buildings in Chicago with amazing architecture that can be seen just by walking through the front door BUT the Rookery isn't one of them. A bit of research told me that I'd need to take a tour to get access to this amazing staircase. I have mixed feelings about tours. They can be wonderful, entertaining, and educational - or they can be boring as hell. It just depends on the tour guide. I did learn a bit, but tours do slow me down and insure that I have PLENTY of time to look around for detail shots.
