Spring in Texas means it is time for 2025 Dallas Bluebonnet pictures! We generally start to see native bluebonnets in Dallas in late March but freezing weather and rain can change when they bloom. Mid-April is typically when the fields are most in bloom. You will want to get out and snap some photos before the end of April as the flowers will start to disappear going into the hotter months. Looking for the perfect spot to find our beautiful state flower in North Texas? Check out one of these spots listed below which are known to be some of the best spots for Dallas bluebonnets. Share your adventures with me on Instagram by tagging @EricaGrandinPhotography and let me know if anything is missing from the list!

Keep These Tips in Mind for Taking Dallas Bluebonnet Photos
- Getting outdoors and going for a walk is recommended by the CDC during stay-at-home orders or Covid-19. However, be sure to choose locations that are less crowded to ensure you can maintain proper social distancing. Do not offer to take photos for other people – do not share your cameras or phones. If too many people are congregating in one area, choose a new location or wait for the other families to leave before taking your photos.
- Don’t trespass on private property
- Be careful of where you park and walk along roads
- Watch out for snakes and ants, especially in longer grass
- Don’t pick the bluebonnets to leave some beauty for everyone to enjoy!
