I collected my gear headed home

I was hoping for a sunrise that had soft lighting and cool colors but

A few virginia bluebells grow beneath an oak tree at Wildflower Park on this beautiful spring morning

A thick heavy fog surrounds the park on this wet morning as I make my way through the park only to be able to see about 50 yards ahead

I moved along the trail towards this bridge that crosses over Eakin Creek West with the sun now breaking the horizon coming through the box elder trees

TREES OF THE PARK OCTOBER I collected my gear headedAfter photographing the sunrise at Wildflower Lake, I turned my attention to the South Fork Kishwaukee River with the reflections of the box elder tree that hugs the rivers bank, along with a couple cottonwood trees, two oak trees and a few peachleaf willow trees composed the subjects and began photographing. It is always nice to spend the mornings in the park enjoying the beauty of the area. (493 33)
