Originally, I went to the Laguna de Santa Rosa Tuesday to photograph Jose Ochoa feeding his cattle alfalfa hay, near the intersection of Occidental and Sanford Roads.  I’m continuously surprised by how the light changes from minute to minute and the dichotomy of the Laguna which provides multiple opportunities to make interesting pictures in its environs, by being in the right place at the right time.

I arrived early.  Obviously a good sunrise is too good to pass up.
