SUMMER BEAUTY FROM THE PRAIRIE WILDCAT CANYON TRAIL A pair of canada geese

A pair of canada geese  moves slowly across the lake as the colors of the golden sunrise glisten onto the surface of the lake at Exner Wetland Nature Preserve

A beautiful hike through the french canyon and its creek as the top of french canyon waterfall starts to reveal itself at Starved Rock State Park

These flowers can be seen throughout most of this small park

I was in awe at what I was seeing as a calm and peaceful scene is being reflected onto the surface of the river

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