To answer your question, I believe its a “Morning Glory” flower…but Im not entirely 100% sure. They open in the morning, and close at night.

Charlie, 11 months ago

AAaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…......soft and peaceful….wonderful image!!

Cathleen Taraw..., 11 months ago

Thanks brinadragonfly and Charlie, it was actually very peaceful; I had the whole beach to myself (except for the two little monkeys playing in the sand behind me). Blissful.

Aubrey Bergman, 11 months ago

Very cool. Where is this taken? I love reflections pictures of nature and am just starting to take them myself. Wish I had more time to just drive around and find some cool places to take them though.

Cathleen Taraw..., 11 months ago

Hi Aubrey, it was taken at Kawhia on the east coast of the North Island, New Zealand. It was my first go at sunset/sunrise shots so I’m really pleased everyones loving them. Yippee!

Marina Alexander, 10 months ago

Wow this is a great shot!

Adela Hriscu, 10 months ago

Interesting idea, looks very special!

Elaine van Dyk, 10 months ago

“Twice as Nice”, that’s for sure! This is a mindblowing image. Sort of confuses my mind a little because of the upside down repetition of the sky, and it really makes me look carefully to see exactly where the horizon line is. I love those icy-white/blue clouds all bunched up together in what appears to be an otherwise infinite clear, blue sky! Lovely work, Cathleen.

Cathleen Taraw..., 10 months ago

Hi, thanks Whirligig, Marina and Adela. I’m really glad you like it.
