Have you ever lost a blog post? Drafted it, added your photos, maybe even checked for typos, and then never posted it? Let it languish among your drafts for a while and then eventually just forgotten you ever wrote it?
That's what happened to this post. Last summer I had a teeny little obsession with lens flare. Out and about on a sunny day with a camera, I couldn't resist turning my lens towards the sun to see what scattering of light I could capture. I collected a few of my favorite shots to share here, and then they somehow disappeared into the morass of draft posts I have going on at any given time.
Finding this unfinished post in the middle of another (sometimes) sunny summer, remembering the wonder of seeing the sun cast its rays across an image just so, makes me think lens flare might just be an obsession worth revisiting.
While I'm at it perhaps I should revisit my unfinished draft posts once in a while too. Who knows what other good stuff might be in there...

Wow Elizabeth, those pictures are gorgeous. I have been lens-flaring a little myself lately. I think it's just fun this time of year when the sun does some magical things.

nice to have you back.
ah, yes...that happens to me all the time. these photos are so wonderful...I'm glad you got around to publishing the post.
These lens flare images are beautiful! I have lost posts before. Not ones in draft mode but posts that for some weird reason decided to completely vanish on me. Most annoying. It's still a mystery as to what happened to them...
I have done that many a times. I have several unpubbed posts, most are just rants or something I needed to air out but didn't feel the need to pub. beautiful flare!
Ash and Chessa - Thanks!
Harriet - Wow, that is really annoying. Now I feel fortunate that hasn't happened to me!
Tina - Thanks for visiting!
