Roy - My pleasure.

Judy - The ray was pretty special that night.  We get them often, but that one was definitely different.

June - You expressed what I was feeling but couldn't say so eloquently.  Thank you for the interpretation.

Anna - We do love our property.  I must say that I've started taking more pictures of our daily life since I've been active on AR.  It is amazing how often we'll look at something and go, "Blog!", and take the picture.  I'd love to see your monsoons.

Thanks, Mike.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.  Those shafts of light always seem special.

Bridget - You are so right - nature's creations never cease to amaze me.

Lou - Great mindset.  Thank you.

Fred - Thank you and thanks for stopping by.

Sharon - Thank you - we are grateful to have the opportunity to live here.

Lisa - I, too, liked Lou's optimistic observation.

Robert - Thank you very must for the feature - it is an honor.  Indeed, such photos are really a matter of being in the right place at the right time.  Being a photographer, you will also appreciate the lighting extremes caused some exposure problems.  That is one of the benefits of digital - I could see when the light or dark was affecting the overall balance of the picture.  Thank you again.
