LOOKING OVER THE CANYON ART While snowshoeing

While snowshoeing

A beautiful April sunrise illuminates the morning clouds with color above Wildflower Lake as a picturesque maple tree and paper birch tree are reflected onto the surface

to leave me with my thoughts and the beauty of the outdoors

I turned my attention to the South Fork Kishwaukee River with the reflections of the box elder tree that hugs the rivers bank

would somehow be an understatement
