PERCHED ATOP A CATTAIL JANUARY it was in the same

it was in the same location within the park along Eakin Creek West which connects to the South Fork Kishwaukee River where it was alone

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

With the colors of the sunrise appearing just before the sun touched the horizon

a majestic view of a sunset appears as the sun illuminates this magical scene with its incredibly soft lighting at a frozen Wildflower Lake in Northern Illinois
