The soft lighting illuminates this beautiful scene with the freshly fallen snow having a patterned effect on the lake

focused on the blazing star flower and began photographing

I headed out to photograph the sunrise and wildflowers

I was looking for some good wildflower composition to photograph with the sunrise and came upon this scene of queen anne's lace and eastern daisy fleabane
