Kicking It Old School

1. Take a photo or video of the bluebonnets.
2. If you don’t need to download your pictures and videos to your computer, then email your photos and videos to bluebonnets@posterous.com. Be sure to give specific location details for the field in the subject line or body of the email.
3. If you have to download your pictures and videos to your computer, then take the easy way out and submit your bluebonnet sightings report right here on our website.

That’s all there is to it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

 

Photo Guidelines

Now, we all know how being out in nature amongst the wildflowers might make some of you start getting some crazy thoughts. You might start having flashbacks to those hippie days of running through the meadow with flowers in your hair and what not.

Now that’s okay and all … as long as you’ve got your britches on … but as soon as you start sending us pictures or videos of you running through the bluebonnets in the buff, we’re going to have a problem!

Follow what others consider common sense. If your momma would be ashamed, you probably shouldn’t do it. And we’ll be most appreciative, too.

 

Internet Safety

And while we’re on the subject of acting like a nimrod, please be sure to play safe here on the internet. Yes, your sightings reports, pictures, and videos are going out to the entire world wide web for all to see. Remember to make your momma proud.
