After photographing the creek

Morning mist hovers over wildflower lake as a beautiful and colorful sunrise starts the day in November Illinois

Keeping in mind to photograph silhouettes and close ups in black and white which adds a little more mystery and mood to the images

This June sunrise did not disappoint

An overnight snowfall of 3-5 inches blankets this midwestern prairie landscape scene along Eakin Creek West with box elders lining its banks on this cold winter morning at Wildflower Park

A QUIET MORNING FROM BIERSTADT LAKE Size:24x36 METAL PRINT After photographing the creekIt was a cool August summer morning when I arrived at the trailhead to Bierstadt Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. I started up the steep trail at 5: 15 am to catch the sunrise at the lake and the Continental Divide. It would take me just under an hour to reach the lake. There are numerous switchbacks leading up the mountain through some stands of aspen trees. After about 20 minutes, I no longer needed my headlamp to guide my way up the mountain.
