At our best and most fortunate we make pictures because of what stands before our camera, to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are. We never accomplish this perfectly, though in return we are given something perfect–a sense of inclusion. Our subject thus redefines us, and is part of the biography by which we want to be known. – Robert Adams
Early one morning my dad and I waited to see if the covey of quail would make an appearance and scamper across his back yard. Well, they did not show up but I did get a photo of the cactus back lit by the morning sun. This is one of my favorite times of the day.

I love the soft glow; it almost appears as if the light comes from within.

Yes, it has a glow.

Beautiful shot, Monte. Isn’t it cool to go to a different environment and get shots that we could not get at home? I always enjoy it.

I do too. That is a perk with my work: the travel to different places. You know what that’s like. I mean you just came back from a first hand view of the flatlands of Nebraska. It has it’s own beauty.
