SUNRISE WITH COTTONWOOD TREES Size:24X36 METAL PRINT Mist lingers throughout the morning

Mist lingers throughout the morning hours as the sun rises behind this peachleaf willow tree sending out sunbursts just before I cross over the South Fork Kishwaukee River on this cool summer morning at Wildflower Park

only about a quarter mile before I noticed the mist and wildflowers blanketing the landscape

I was looking for some good wildflower composition to photograph and came upon this swamp milkweed plant with cup plants not in bloom behind close to the trail

I left the house before 5:am and after photographing the wildflowers for a couple hours
