Warm greetings fellow reflection Hunters! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

For my entry in round 176 of the Reflection Hunters Contest this week, I share with you some photos that I just took of the mirror reflection of a Jamaican lirikoi (lirikoi is a Hawaiian word for passion flowers/fruits) flower, Passiflora laurifolia, in my trusty portable mirror. This little mirror is a very helpful tool indeed in a place where natural reflections are rare.

I was hoping for the sun to be out when it was time to take my photos, but alas, that is not how it flowed, so these photos were taken under less-than-ideal light conditions. I played with differing angles and proximities, and while the shots that I got are not bad, they would have been so much better if the sun were shining. So I offer the best reflection photos that I could get under the conditions that I encountered today. I hope that y'all enjoy them! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Many thanks, @borniet! I'm grateful that you appreciate it! They are lovely indeed! I did my best to get good shots under quite challenging conditions...lol! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

You’re very welcome ;-)
Yessir, challenging conditions with all this nature around you :-) But indeed, finding reflections in all this nature is challenging!!!
!VSC

LOLOL!!!
it's true, we are surrounded by a gagglefuck of nature on every side, and beauty abounds at every turn, but the photos are usually so much better when there's sun, and reflective surfaces! Since this area is so new, only porous lava underlines us, so no matter how much it rains, the water just goes straight through the lava, so we have no ponds, lakes, streams, or rivers here. You don't start seeing those until you get up around Hilo. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

!VSC

Lol!!! Ok, cool!!! :-) That’s so unimaginable, and interesting!
Yes, definitely making things even much more challenging like that! :-D But also very beautiful I can imagine…

It's amazing even for me that lives here. We're literally on New Earth...lol! Yeppers, entering the Shadow Hunters Contest is super easy because there are incredible shadows everywhere here, but reflections, not so much...hehe. Oh my goodness yes, the beauty here is over the top! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Yeah, I’m already baffled by it’s beauty from the photos you are sharing here! Seeing it in real life must be mind blowing!!!

Thanls so much, and you're ever so welcome! I'm happy to join in the fun! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

So impressive because you managed to show us some techniques on how to hunt for reflection in a unique way! That is what we call aesthetics!🤗♥️🫰

Thanks muchly, I appreciate that! Even without many reflective surfaces here, where there is a will, there is a way! Improvising is the name of the game for sure! I'm grateful that you appreciate my photographic modus operandi! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
