so I snapped a couple of shots

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

A winter snowfall comes through this wetland prairie scene creating majestic views as I make my way through this beautiful area of the park

RIPPLES OF TIME FLORA I reached the trailhead soonAn incredible majestic display of colors and lighting were on display as a soft breeze crossed the surface of Wildflower Lake leaving small ripples in its wake. (668 2280)
