Pictures(Of course): In and around Austin, TX / Texas Bluebonnets

Written by timsdd on Friday, November 21st, 2008 in Photography.

I REALLY need to get a bigger collection of Austin Pictures. I have “a few to some” on my hard drive but I have either not edited them, backed them up already, or they aren’t very interesting.

I’d like to target specific aspects of Austin and thye surrounding area and have a separate gallery for each of them. As crazy as it sounds, I just don’t shoot very much here! Maybe if we were on vacation… :-p

Regardless, here are some fairly recent photos that I have taken throughout Austin and some bluebonnets as well. BB’s are another thing I should have oodles of but I don’t. Of course the weather has a very large bearing on that. Last year for instance was a horrible year for BB’s on account of the drought we had (and still have).

Yosemite National Park…simply awesome!!

This was YAVDT (Yet Another Vacation Day Trip). In my opinion one can’t begin to do it justice with one single day lasting < = 6 hours. I tried my best with the pictures and b/c of the limited time frame, I’m sure many of these shots you have seen before.

We’ve only been to a handful of National Parks but this one is right up there. The only thing about it I did not like was the drive into the park! It’s about 40miles long until you reach the center and it’s curves and curves and more curves. I was car sick and I was the one driving!! Aside from that small sacrifice it was well worth the trip.

We went in April which was both good and bad. The temperature was pleasant but a tad on the cold side. The snow was still above 5K feet which was great for Mountain pictures and the waterfall water levels. There was still the backside of the park that was closed on account of the snow but we wouldn’t have had time to go there anyway.

Yosemite National Park Truly a site to behold!

Drive By Shooting (Pictures) – Sequoia National Park

Another vacation, another drive by shooting of the pictures. While we have been blessed to take many wonderful family vacations, it’s tough to “see the sites” in the amount of time that we are given. Sequoia National Park was mostly a driving park anyway. I’m sure there are a plethora of things to do and hike but there was 1) lots of snow and 2) we had a 3yr old with us :-)

The trees of course were insanely huge and majestic. Never seen anything remotely like that in all my life. We have a picture somewhere of us near the General Sherman (tree)

I need to dig it up so you can get a sense of the scale I am talking about. “Huge” just doesn’t do it justice.

Check out the stats:

Height above base^[4]	274.9 ft	83.8 m
Circumference at ground^{[citation needed]}	109 ft	33.2 m
Maximum diameter at base^[4]	36.5 ft	11.1 m
Diameter 4.5 ft (1.4 m) above height point on ground^[5]	25.1 ft	7.7 m
Diameter 60 ft (18 m) above base^[4]	17.5 ft	5.3 m
Diameter 180 ft (55 m) above base^[4]	14.0 ft	4.3 m
Diameter of largest branch^[4]	6.8 ft	2.1 m
Height of first large branch above the base^[4]	130.0 ft	39.6 m
Average crown spread^[4]	106.5 ft	32.5 m
Estimated bole volume^[5]	52,508 cu ft	1,487 m³

And now the pics:
