Thank you Jet. 🙂 Wolf came home after shooting on this day and told me he was disappointed because he hadn’t been able to get any “good” shots. I asked if I could look at them and this was one of the gems I found. I’ll let him know that you liked this image.

I love the quote. It gets right to the point I keep trying to make about the ordinary being extraordinary, if you have the eye to see it.
