Jazz Hands

This picture actually has NOTHING to do with jazz hands, but it is a picture of sun flare and whenever I hear the word “flare” it totally makes me think of “jazz hands.”

I don’t why, OKAY.   Humor me, won’t you?

Park day

More WW here.

Also!  I’m entering this photo in a contest sponsored by See Hear Speak No Evil.  Winner gets a $10 gift card to a place of their choice online.  The theme this month is “Nature.”  Sun-Nature…get it!?  Go enter a nature-y picture yourself!

    And your logic TOTALLY makes sense to me. “Flare” makes me think of jazz hands, too!!

    It’s a lovely photo and I wish you luck. I’ve posted almost wordlessly (with a little Haiku) at Sacred Ruminations … sharing images I modified with Photoshop filters as I experimented a bit.

    “Jazz hands,” huh? Eeek.. Brings back creepy memories of actually teaching kids how to make “jazz hands.”

    Love the photo, though! ;) Reminds me of one I took last weekend of Hubby. It looks like the sun is shining solely for him. The rays are all around him. Creepy and cool, all at once.
