Fun in the Sun Flare

I just finished a little photography workshop and it really helped me get used to using aspects of my camera that I didn't use to their fullest potential.  Also, I learned a few tricks for working with harsh light and how fun it is to play with sun flare.  I'm finding it a little addicting. . . or maybe it's just the sun I'm finding addicting, not having seen much of it for the past nine or ten months!
