Spring Warmth

Yesterday evening I went hiking in Platte River State Park to explore the eastern side which is mainly used for horseback riding and mountain biking. I had never walked this section, but enjoyed the peacefulness of my surroundings. As the sun began to set, the rays came through the forest and I stopped to capture this image along my journey.

Quiet Field

On Wednesday evening I decided to try and find the most western area of DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge on the western side of the Missouri River. This area is only open from the middle of April until the end of May for mushroom hunting and bow turkey hunting. There are no roads through this section, so you have to hike through this area. After hiking in over a mile I found this run-down shed on the edge of a field. I waited for just after sunset to capture this photograph. I used 2 captures and blended the results for the final image.
