The Camas Prairie and Soldier Mountains near Fairfield Idaho attract tourists and photographers throughout the end of May and early June, who travel to see the splendor of the blooming Camas Lilies at Centennial Marsh. This scene along the highway is perhaps nearly always overlooked, as people approach the turnoff to the Centennial Marsh. It is after all, likely just an irrigation runoff pond among the fields and pastures of Fairfield. However, at just after 6:30am, as the sunrise colors faded into a soft morning glow, the golden sunlight washed across this scene, highlighting the treetops, shrubs, and cattails with a magnificent glow. This scene was just too peaceful and serene to pass by without capturing the beauty of the morning light. When the sun gets higher in the sky and the day wears on, the scene is likely much less impressive, but at this moment in time the warm glow and brilliant reflections were worth pulling off of the highway for a few minutes to capture this grand scene.
