I was up by 4:00 am to catch the sunrise at Wildflower Lake and at the trailhead by 4:30 am

bur oak I believe

some days you have to look for those special moments

I headed to the lake where I looked for a good place to set up the tripod and wait for the colors of the sunrise to fill the sky

After photographing the wildflowers

SHIFTING OF THE LIGHT Size:10X15 METAL PRINT I was up by 4:00After 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 dramatic clouds being illuminated and began photographing. (499 180)
