Some of the weird errors we find, like the big bug, are probably at the digitization level, not the initial capture.

These glares are reflections from external objects and so they are not "lens flares" at all :)</p> Just a nitpick – “lens flare” is the name for internal reflection in the camera lens, caused by sunlight striking it at an angle.

Still, it looks like your just getting a nice reflection of the sun (fairly bright) off a lake (fairly big)</p> The size of a lens flare has more to do with the brightness of the light producing it than the size of the object.
