TREES OF THE PARK OCTOBER Just because it is overcast

Just because it is overcast and gloomy

I was hoping for a sunrise that had soft lighting and cool colors but

(645-1372)

Cup plants (silphium perfoliatum) grow abundantly throughout much of Wildflower Park reaching heights of over 6 feet

A thick heavy fog surrounds the park on this wet morning as I make my way through the park only to be able to see about 50 yards ahead

TREES OF THE PARK OCTOBER Just because it is overcastAfter photographing the sunrise at Wildflower Lake, I turned my attention to the South Fork Kishwaukee River with the reflections of the box elder tree that hugs the rivers bank, along with a couple cottonwood trees, two oak trees and a few peachleaf willow trees composed the subjects and began photographing. It is always nice to spend the mornings in the park enjoying the beauty of the area. (493 33)
