SHADOW OF THE ELDER PATTERNS A beautiful and vibrant sunset

A beautiful and vibrant sunset appears at Wildflower Lake

I awakened to a heavy fog outside and was up and out the door to photograph the wildflowers before 5:00 am

The cool morning colors of pinks and purples gave way to warmer colors of oranges as the sun broke the horizon

SHADOW OF THE ELDER PATTERNS A beautiful and vibrant sunsetAs I was walking along the path, I noticed this shadow on the freshly fallen snow from a box elder tree along Eakin Creek West and thought that it looked very cool, even a bit spooky. Wildflower Park. (540 112)
