Do It With Flare ~

the last photoplay prompt
was to capture
a
lens flare image
 a difficult assignment
when the sun
hides
its face demurely
for a week
until
 yesterday
when it appeared
and cast
its benediction

Breathtaking view of light surrounded by what I image are red roses. God's loving light.

Now I know what I caught on camera when I took the moon spectacular on March 19. It formed a cross around it with these red dots.

So that is called a 'lens flare'?
haha... that's how bright the moon was!

lovely shots!

Yours are AMAZING! I tried, but the clouds wouldn't let up. I submitted something from the archives. It was pretty lame. :-)

I wish I could steal you for a few days (weeks???) so you could teach me how to take pictures. Lovely ... always, always.

Stunning--as always. You truly have a gift.

Blessings,

I suppose all we need to accomplish many of our goals is

patience.
