EARLY MORNING MILKWEED Size:10x15 GALLERY WRAP Ruddy ducks and pied-billed grebes

Ruddy ducks and pied-billed grebes spend a few days resting and recouping at Wildflower Lake before continuing their migration north on this beautiful spring morning at Wildflower park

I began photographing the wildflowers that consisted of blue vervain

I was fascinated watching a few common loons swim and then dive to try and catch fish to reenergize throughout the morning

I noticed the low lying mist hovering over the prairie in the distance with box elder trees behind lining the banks of Eakin Creek West
