SNOW COVERED MILKWEED SEED PODS RIVERS I had photographed many sunrises

I had photographed many sunrises this year and wanted to focus my attention on the wildflowers of Wildflower Park

a couple of oak trees

it didn't take long for the colors of the sunrise to fill the sky and the altostratus clouds being illuminated with those yellows and oranges

I was looking for some good wildflower composition to photograph with the sunrise and came upon this scene of common milkweed in beautiful condition
