roadside photography

During naps today, I decided to head out and take some pictures of some flowers I saw on a super busy highway last night. Not a place I could go with kids. Mopac and Braker for those who are local. I thought I would have lots of leisure lens and settings play. Not so much. It was a little un-nerving, even for me, to be so close to such quick traffic. I'm crazy enough not to want to damage the flowers, which meant I was pressed up against the inside of a small guard rail. Litterally inches from really fast cars....

My goal was to get a shot that was nice enough to blow up really big to put behind our couch on that enormous wall in our living room. I had fun, but I may have to keep practicing to invest in a really big canvas. Still, I think these may make nice 11X16s......





Texas really does know how to do wildflowers in the spring.
