TEXTURES AND PATTERNS FROM THE EARLY MORNING SNOW WINTER 1/26/2019 (528-35)This January winter morning sunrise brought some incredible lighting of cool and soft looking colors around these elderberry bushes along the South Fork Kishwaukee River in Northern Illinois. I like how the soft lighting brings out the textures of the patterns in the snow beneath the elderberry bushes. The temperature was an incredible 28F. (529 38)
