A beautiful early misty morning hike through Wildflower Park as the sunrise is reflected onto Wildflower Lake in Northern Illinois

I didn't plan on doing any close up photography of the wildflowers in the area

A cold spell sees Wildflower Lake with a thin layer of ice with the reflections of the sky embracing its surface

The color of autumns box elder trees with the cloud reflections in the South Fork Kishwaukee River had been a majestic scene to behold
