A beautiful cool misty spring morning on the prairie as the colors shift from pastel to an orange hue with the sun breaking the horizon behind these cottonwood trees and peachleaf willow trees in Northern Illinois

A beautiful summer sunrise filled with colorful clouds and wildflowers at Wildflower Park in Northern Illinois

One place I like to photograph is along the South Fork Kishwaukee River

The early morning sunlight illuminates these beautiful bouquets of swamp milkweed flowers at Wildflower Park

LOOKING BACK MALLARD DUCKS (ANAS PLATYRHYNCHOS) A beautiful cool misty springAfter photographing and walking the path for a couple hours, I decided to head back home, but before I do I turn to look back and notice this beautiful scene in from of me. The lighting was still good, so I snapped a couple of shots. (612 54)
