STANDING MAJESTIC IN THE MOUNTAINS BLACK-EYED SUSAN'S (RUDBECKIA HIRTA) A beautiful and majestic mountain

A beautiful and majestic mountain scene is reflected onto sheep lake in horseshoe park

With my nikkor 300mm attached to the tripod

It would take me just under an hour to reach the lake

The morning sunlight illuminates these in full bloom obedient plants along the trail at Wildflower Park in Northern Illinois

I try to look for more intimate subjects and capture the details like with this common milkweed stalk (ASCLEPIAS SYRIACA) and its opened seed pods still hanging on
