rich and bright colors appears over Wildflower Lake

I set out on this February morning to enjoy and photograph the fresh blanket of snow that covers this area around wildflower lake with burr oak trees standing tall in the background in Northern Illinois

towers over black lake while the wind moves across the lake surface leaving behind ripples of shadow and light

I moved along the trail as the sun was now above the box elder trees and noticed this incredible scene of the low lying mist being illuminated by the suns rays with an orange hue
