SUMMER CONEFLOWERS SUNFLOWER yellow coneflower and teasel weedThe forecast was to be another sunny beautiful day so, I left the house around 4: 30 am and headed to the Burnidge Forest Preserve.

I knew where in the preserve I wanted to go to photograph the wildflowers because, there were an abundance of them. It wasn't long before I reached the area
