UP IN THE TREE TOPS WILDFLOWERS With these false sunflowers

With these false sunflowers

I set out to photograph this recent snowfall along Eakin Creek West on this 2nd day of the New Year

and close up subjects like this paper birch tree along with Wildflower Lake behind in black and white which adds a little more mystery and mood to the images

A thick heavy fog surrounds Wildflower Lake with the sun beginning to shine through the clouds as I make my way through the park

UP IN THE TREE TOPS WILDFLOWERS With these false sunflowersAfter photographing the wildflowers, I came upon these three (one off camera) green herons up in this dead peachleaf willow tree along Eakin Creek West at Wildflower Park. They were moving about the branches like they were having a good time but, perhaps they just wanted a height advantage to the creek in hopes of seeing prey below. (516 155)
