Hey you,
yeah you …
When Life starts getting you down
turn around
and say heck no, Life,
you aint gonna get me down
not today!
And so play like a kid
with a slap happy grin
chasing the gloom goblins away!

Photography/ “Play!”/February 2017©AmyRose

Did I have fun with this! I started out with my phone photography apps but it’s been so long since I played with them I forgot what to do. Argh! So I used Photoshop instead and played. Yes this is an actual photograph I took a few days back with my Samsung Phone completely blind as I did so. I have transition glasses which turn dark in sunshine which at the time were on my face. Throw in there aiming my camera up towards the sun (a no-no!) I couldn’t see a darn thing on my phone.
I just had a “feeling” inside I was going to capture something. Carefully I went by “feel” how to frame this image and from what angle to shoot. No idea what it was I capturing I hit the shutter.
And boy did I ever get something! Now that blue disk thingie with a light inside of it I have NO clue what it is. My most intelligent guess is that it is a reflection between my phone camera’s lens and the sun. Now the kid in me however, would like to say oh wow I photographed a UFO! Either way it is a pretty spectacular picture, one that I really wanted to play with. And so I did. LOL
This is what the photograph looked like before I played with it: Who votes UFO?
FYI … those colors in the clouds I did not add. They are the very reason I attempted to shoot this image. I actually saw colors in the clouds with my darkened glasses and was curious if those colors would actually be seen on a photograph. Well I’ll be!! They are seen! Now we are seeing Rainbow Clouds! Amazing!!

Looks very much like a famous artist…

LOL Good to know your KID is alive and well, Dan! We adults tend to get SO serious and forget how to laugh and have fun. Thank goodness for pets for one, who remind us daily how to have fun. Someone on my FB page sent me a link how to operate the oil painting function on PS and as I listened my eyes crossed and my brain cramped. I think I will stick to playing instead of getting serious (again). Hahahahaha ❤

Thank YOU and you are welcome! Since I saw those colors I’ve felt such Peace. I cannot but help to ask what caused those colors? This is not the first time I’ve seen colors like this. 😙💖😙

I ‘think’, and don’t hold me to this, but I think it is the reflection of light from moisture in the atmosphere. Like the rainbows you get from water being sprayed around, it gives off those colors depending on where your standing. It can give halo’s and a variety of corona’s around the sun depending on how much moisture is in the atmosphere. And I don’t think clouds even have to be present, they are just what we see when there is lots of moisture. Even the moon gets a range of corona’s around it at night 😀
