A MISTY JULY SUNRISE FROM THE PARK BLUE Before reaching the lake

Before reaching the lake

You can usually get some pretty dramatic looking cloud patterns from the thunderstorms and that was my hope this morning

with the lake absorbing those vibrant colors from above along with a breeze that gently moves across the surface of the lake leaving ripples of beauty in its wake at Wildflower Park

The fog was going to be around for a few more hours so photographing any kind of sunrise was out of the question

I wanted to get some close ups from the wildflowers along the trail

A MISTY JULY SUNRISE FROM THE PARK BLUE Before reaching the lakeThe forecast this July morning was to be mostly clear with cool temperatures and a mist hovering over the low lying areas. I thought it would be another beautiful and colorful sunrise so, I left the house wanting to photograph the beautiful wildflowers of the Park with a colorful sunrise. I knew where in the park that had an abundance of wildflowers, which was the west side and a beautiful sunrise to photograph. I reached the trailhead soon after
