TREES OF THE PARK OCTOBER I collected my gear headedAfter 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)
