Good evening earthlings how was the weekend?  I was off today and had planned on going diving but at the last minute my dive buddy canceled because of a severe cold.  It’s funny when I think of catching a cold I always think of a cold area with freezing temps and being stuck inside, not here on this hot tropical island, it’s just not right! 
 
I seem to be getting more and more requests for cactus photos than anything lately, heck you guys need to take a trip to the desert southwest you would love it!!  And for those of you interested I know two great books you should run out and buy both done by my buddy and “photo mentor” Thomas Wiewandt.  The first one is a little postcard book called Desert Rain/Desert Bloom ISBN#1-879728-00-1, I have a signed copy and the other a much bigger coffee table book “the perfect gift” is called The Southwest InsideOut ISBN#  9781879728042, if you love the west and all it has to offer wait till you see these!  Your photo this evening is another beautiful glowing barrel cactus from the area around Saint Joris bay.  I have found that morning is by far the best time to shoot these things with that nice warm glowing light, it really adds nice color to the spines.
 
Other than a mild hike with the dogs this morning it has been a fairly restful day, just what I needed!  Many thanks to those of you who continue to keep in touch on a daily/weekly basis, you have no idea how much it means to us!  Might go for a bike ride, talk to you tomorrow, Barry
