My first thought when I saw that the photohunt theme this week was bright was - Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might . . . I even tried to photograph the stars in the sky at night but none of the photographs worked. Therefore, I took a picture of a June sky map on top of a star quilt which is on a bed in my house. 
The sun is something else which I associate with bright. As a matter of fact, you might want to put on your sunglasses for the next shot. I took the shot below this week of the sun breaking through the clouds.
I also took a shot of the bright sun breaking through the oak canopy in my front yard.
Another day this week, I shot the bright sun against a blue sky in my back yard.
I would not recommend photographing the bright sun without wearing sunglasses. I hope that everyone has a great weekend.

Hehe, I love my quilt! If I had a twin bed I'd have taken it with me.
We've got the same idea this week :)
Be careful with the lens facing the sunlight directly towards the sun. Might damage the lens, unless you've got UV filter lens on the camera :)
Happy Weekend!!
Those are some nice shots! Happy PH:)
I was looking for a Sky watch entry ;-) And I am reminded I should post my photohunt!
I agree with Elaine, and remember sunray through lens can cause fire...Stay bright! Happy weekend!
I like all the sun photos!
I love the third one - beautiful pattern!

Beautiful quilt! Very clever use of the star map in place of the real thing :-)
great idea for the theme!
view mine if you wish here thanks
Thanks to everyone for visiting. I really appreciate the tip about not risking my camera lens by facing into the sun. I didn't know that. I always thought if I wore sunglasses it was ok for a minute so good to know about the camera. To answer the question about whether I made the quilt, no it was a gift to my daughter. As a matter of fact she commented that she loved her quilt and if she had a twin bed in her apartment, she would have taken it with her. I guess I'm lucky that it can stay in her old room in my house, ha. I used to do some quilting but I never made anything like that one. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
You are bright not to photograph the sun without wearing sunglasses. ;)
And what napoboaniya said. :)
Like the quilt, my grandmother made all her granddaughters quilts in the order they were born, I was the seventh and last one so I got to pick my design- always very special to me.
Like your star theme- I love learning about the stars, but then I always seem to forget what I learn.
Great pictures!
Lovely post, Carver. It is funny that you mentioned putting on sunglasses, because I've thought I needed them several times while visiting photohunters this weekend. It is interesting how we can capture that brilliance in a photograph. Hope you have a bright and shiney weekend, dear friend.
Great choice for today's theme, mine's up too hope you can drop by... Happy weekend!
Great bright shots Carver - love that quilt of yours, and the idea of photographing bright stars (I tried that too, didn't work either).
Have a great weekend! :)
Great shots! I know what you mean about needing sunglasses. :)
I like all your shots and the quilt! My daughter is named after a star - Polaris.
Happy photohunting!

This quilt is amazing and I love the bright sunshine photo. :) Great take on this week's theme.
Wonderful shots, Carver!
I love these shots! I have never yet taken a successful picture of the sun. Thanks for visiting mine, and have a great weekend :)
All beautiful photos.
I sooo love that quilt
Lovely bright photos of the sun. I like the quilt!
Beautiful shots!!!!
Great sun shots. thanks for visiting mine. Happy photo hunting for next week.
you're right about wearing sunglasses when taking a shot of the sun's brightness.
the glass used in the camera can double the sun's light effect. but thank God there's digital technology!
Great essay on bright and great shots.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks again to everyone for visiting.
These are really good bright shots! :)
I like the sun through the trees shot
thanks for your visit
Thanks for your visit and comment on my photo Saturday.
it looks like you have been spending several days with eyes towards the sky; searching for birds in the trees. I am always too slow and they are just a blur in my photos
