PAINTING RIPPLES ON THE SURFACE GRAY An overnight snowfall of 3-5

An overnight snowfall of 3-5 inches blankets this midwestern landscape scene with a stand of box elder trees making a nice subject to photograph on this cold winter morning at Wildflower Park

A red-tailed hawk circles overhead as it gains lift and catches the heat thermals beneath the cumulus clouds during this winter afternoon at Wildflower Park

I was looking for some good composition which included the movement of the water over rocks and the reflections of the box elder trees that line the banks of Eakin Creek West

A colorful sunrise is reflected onto a misty Wildflower Lake with a great blue heron waiting patiently at the shoreline for a meal and a light breeze which moves slowly over the surface of the lake leaving soft ripples in its wake
