A MISTY SUMMER SUNRISE Size:10x15 FINE ART PAPER A misty morning covers Wildflower

A misty morning covers Wildflower park with a peachleaf willow tree and elderberry bushes being illuminated by the spring sun on this May morning in Northern Illinois

I headed out to photograph the sunrise and wildflowers

This June sunrise did not disappoint

The cool morning colors of pinks and purples gave way to warmer colors of oranges as the sun broke the horizon

I was looking for some subjects to photograph along the trail with the sun illuminating those subjects when I came upon this Kentucky coffee tree being backlit with an orange glow from the morning sun

I thought it would be another beautiful and colorful sunrise so, I left the house wanting to photograph the beautiful wildflowers of the Park with a colorful sunrise. I knew where in the park that had an abundance of wildflowers, which was the west side and a beautiful sunrise to photograph. I reached the trailhead soon after
