WATCHING THE WOODPECKERS TREES The soft lighting illuminates this

The soft lighting illuminates this beautiful scene giving off a reddish hue to the landscape of box elder trees

A dusting of snow fell overnight as the soft light from the morning sun illuminates this frozen landscape with a honey locust tree lining the banks of a frozen Wildflower Lake

if only I knew what they were saying

the fog was still about and peaked my interest to find subjects that would help compliment the atmosphere that the fog brought to the landscape

After a freezing rain storm passed through overnight

WATCHING THE WOODPECKERS TREES The soft lighting illuminates thisAfter photographing the pair of red bellied woodpeckers, I notice a male downy woodpecker nearby probing the tree branches for insects. Sometimes these small woodpeckers can be difficult to photograph as they are quick and can be elusive when they are climbing the trees in search for insects. Fortunately, this male wasn't moving to quickly as I take a series of photographs of him moving slowly towards the outer branches of the tree at Wildflower Park.
