LIGHTING UP THE PRAIRIE LANDSCAPE PANORAMIC IMAGE I have photographed this creek

I have photographed this creek and box elder tree numerous times over the years

An american robin takes a moment of rest upon a branch from feeding before continuing on its migration during the early spring

A beautiful and colorful sunrise brings a sense of peace and joy to Wildflower Prairie with obedient plants being in full bloom in the foreground on this summer evening

The fragrance is nice to smell as I walk by

LIGHTING UP THE PRAIRIE LANDSCAPE PANORAMIC IMAGE I have photographed this creekAfter photographing the colorful sunrise at the lake with dramatic clouds, it looked like it was now going to downpour and I headed back to the trailhead. I crossed over the South Fork Kishwaukee River and noticed the sunlight lighting up the clouds and the prairie landscape with a remarkable and beautiful light. I set up the tripod, camera, composed the prairie landscape with the clouds being illuminated and began photographing. (499 178)
