A GOLDEN ALEXANDER SUNRISE

The forecast this June morning was to be mostly clear with some clouds. I thought it would be another beautiful and colorful sunrise so, I left the house wanting to photograph a colorful sunrise. I knew where in the park I wanted to catch the sunrise and photograph it, which was near Wildflower Lake. I reached the trailhead soon after leaving the house with camera gear in hand and it wasn't long before I started seeing the wildflowers along the lake which included cup plants, golden alexanders, meadow rue, virginia spiderwort and ironweed that had yet to bloom. The colors of the sunrise began to appear filling the sky so, I set up my tripod and camera, composed the golden alexander wildflowers, wildflower lake and the colorful sunrise, waited a couple more minutes until the colors really began to come alive and began photographing the sunrise at Wildflower Lake. It had been a peaceful and colorful morning in the park on this spring day. (494-35)
