I didn't get much time to take photos today.  While dinner was on the grill, I played around with the dogs on the deck and took some photos of the plants on the deck.  At the last minute, I saw the sun poking through the trees, so I figured why not.  I cranked the aperture down to f/22 because I wanted that star-like image.  Then I futzed with the ISO and shutter speed until I got something that I could hold.  The lens flare was just an added bonus.
