A few days ago, while I was trying to get some shots of a flower, I noticed the light dancing through the trees in little glistening, luminous beads.
The sun shone brightly and its rays stretched out and moved like waving arms, as the trees swayed in the spring breeze.

As the sunlight shone, I looked through my unfocused camera lens and instead of focusing, I snapped.

The beads of light were like little diamonds and the end result is a photo that I find interesting to look at, although it's not really a photo OF anything.

I like to think it's a photo of the sunshine and happiness I felt that day, being out in nature taking photos. Just pure joy.

:-)
