Stone Creek Park Flower Mound Texas Photography

My wife was looking for a new place to do some photography of our kids. She came across Stone Creek Park in Flower Mound Texas. Little did we know that such a beautiful park was less than 10 miles from our house. This little hidden park was tucked away right along my route home from work. I literally drove by this park every day for 2.5 years and never knew it was there. The Stone Creek Park is popular for photography because of the unique rock formations and flowing streams not normally found in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. Two things you need to be aware of before visiting or doing any sort of photography in Stone Creek Park. The first is that there is Poison Ivy. I found many Poison Ivy plants growing along the trail. There is a path down to the creek which is clear and allows you access without brushing into any plants. Since Stone Creek Park is popular for photography, you will also need to be aware that you may have other people playing by the creek or taking photographs. Please be courteous to other people and share the creek with others enjoying it. These are some photographs I took at Stone Creek Park.

These are some videos I took at the Stone Creek Park in Flower Mound Texas.

Jumping Spider on yellow flower

These are two shots of a tiny jumping spider on a yellow flower I took.

Red Hibiscus Flowers

These are two photographs I took recently of some beautiful red Hibiscus flowers in the yard.

Tulips photography

These are some of my favorite Tulip photographs I have taken.  A few years back In Grapevine Texas, they planted Tulips everywhere.  I went around town photographing them.  This was one of my first times to go out and photograph Tulips.  I have photographs some more after but none were as impressive to me as these.

Bluebonnet photographs

These are some Texas Bluebonnet flower photographs.  Every year in Texas we have a ton of Bluebonnets along the highways.  This year my family moved to a new house in the Dallas area.  There was a field by a church with thousands of Bluebonnet flowers.

I took these Bluebonnet flower photographs in April of 2014.  I love doing photography of Bluebonnets.  There is something special about these flowers.

Bluebonnets(Lupinus subcarnosus) are the Texas State Flower.  These flower became the Texas State flower in 1901.  Another subspecies of Lupinus was added in 1971 to the state flower list.

Purple Flowers

These are two purple flowers I took some photographs of.  The first is a Cat Claw Sensitive Briar.  These are wild and grow all over the north Texas area.  When you touch the leaves they will close.  I lined my shots up and turned the lights off.  I used a Canon MT-24EX flash unit to get the light.  When the lights off the only area illuminated where the areas the flash hit so it created a nice black background.

I have no idea what this second flower is.  But I thought it would make for some interesting photography.

Texas Bluebonnets

I took this pictures of Texas Bluebonnets in March of 2012.  The Bluebonnet pictures were shot with a Canon 5D Mark I camera and a Sigma 180 mm lens.  I also use the Canon MT-24EX twin flash unit.  I love taking photographs of Bluebonnets each year.

MP-E 65mm macro photographs of flower

This is my latest series of MP-E 65mm macro photographs of flowers. I use this lens on a Mark 5D II with a Canon MT-24EX twin flash. I find that macro photography is my favorite type of photography. The Canon MP-E 65mm lens is a must for anyone interested in doing extreme macros.
