A Weeping Willow’s (this tree) Reflection in the spring

On Starring Lake, Eden Prairie MN :: April 12, 2010

Taken with a Canon Rebel XSi 12.2 MP D-SLR Camera

The reflection of this weeping willow has been digitally enhanced. Only contrast was increased and brightness reduced. No other alterations (except for resizing the image from the original larger size).

Enjoy,

Wild flower, I thought this was a Daisy with fine white petals with a hint of pink and a vivid yellow center, but a friend pointed out this was an Aster flower.

As I was ending my walk and heading back, I could hear my little yellow friend chirping, looked up another tree and there it was, still too busy singing to care for me snapping more photos of it. It looked at me as I stood there a few times, allowing me to snap some good shots and kept on singing. Here are some of the photos:

Walking along the trail at the Big Willow Park, I heard this non stop twittering and chirping, looked up and I saw this pretty little American Goldfinch. It was too busy singing to care for me snapping my shots. It looked at me as I stood there a few times, and kept on singing.
