A fresh blanket of snow falls during the early morning hours covering the landscape and leaving behind this beautiful and majestic scene at Wildflower Lake

TEXTURES AND PATTERNS FROM THE EARLY MORNING SNOW WINTER Crab apple trees are inThis January winter morning sunrise brought some incredible lighting of cool and soft looking colors around these elderberry bushes along the South Fork Kishwaukee River in Northern Illinois. I like how the soft lighting brings out the textures of the patterns in the snow beneath the elderberry bushes. The temperature was an incredible 28F. (529 38)
