Sunlight!

It was only cloudy for two days, but it seemed longer for some reason.  Yesterday it was cloudy and rainy as well.  So it was uplifting to the spirit this morning to have the sun shining in the windows when I got up.  It was SO exciting that I thought I should do a photograph that celebrated sunlight.  I spent a while trying different things, and picked this one because the addition of the circular "flare" in the photo added more interest to an ordinary photo.  This was a natural effect of the bright sun on the optical elements in the lens, by the way.
