These are wild Silver Puff Dandelions atop Four Peaks, Arizona.
Because I was shooting directly into the sun, lens flairs (glare)
appeared in the image, making the sun look like some sort of shooting
star with white "wings" and a red "tail". This was completely unintentional,
and I have never seen a lens flair quite like this one, but the photo really did
look like this when it was taken. It may be a fluke, but it ain't fake!
