PRAIRIE COLORS DURING A SUMMER SUNRISE

It was to be another beautiful morning and with that, I set off from the trailhead with camera gear and tripod in hand on this July summer morning at Wildflower Park. I was looking to photograph the wildflowers and sunrise on this day in the park. I didn't have far to hike to reach the west end of the park where there was an abundance of wildflowers. With the colors of the sunrise appearing just before the sun touched the horizon, I quickly composed the wildflowers of eastern daisy fleabane, black-eyed susans, cup plants and great angelica with the colors of the sunrise and began photographing.
