Oh Snap! "Sun Flare" Photo Challenge

Um, heh... I'm not doing so great with these challenges. I took a photo for last week's challenge and didn't like it, so I took a different photo and it's still on my camera. Then, I thought I was going to do good this week and get my photo in on time. I took my photo early Friday morning, and then I realized that I had just taken a photo for next week's challenge. Puh.

So today, I'm cheating. I'm digging into my files and pulling out an old photo. It's a day late, but here it is:

ISO 640, f/8, 1/200s

This was taken at my parents' house in early spring. I LOVE springtime! Everything is new and fresh. I love the warmth in this photo, the newness of the blooms, and when I look at this photo, I think of my parents and how much I love visiting them and being at their house and always feeling at peace there. The rays of the sun seem to be touching the flowers, telling them to "Wake up! It's SPRING!!!"

I love sun flare. I just think it's cool. I don't know what I would have done differently. Any suggestions?
