I was photographing cattle when this bird flew overhead. The light filtered through the wings attracted me.

Good things happen when you are among cattle; great photo ! ! ! Once I was on my dad's ranch in Texas, feeding his cattle in the dead of winter on a very overcast day. Hearing a rumble from the sky, I looked overhead as a B-52 bomber flew over at about 500 ft. . . its size blotted out the sky . . . I did not have my camera with me:o(
