New Zealand: Flax reflected
Just because I stopped showing pictures of New Zealand after returning from the big South Dakota trip doesn’t mean you couldn’t have been regaled with more of them. Here, for example, is a view from February 22 showing flax plants reflected in one of the South Island’s Mirror Lakes. No upside-down sign needed.

Thanks, Janet. Reflections are fun to play with photographically, and this place called out to be photographed.

Have you regaled us with a word origin post of regale? I’d be interested.

I haven’t, but I can get on it after I’ve gotten back to Texas.

These reflections fascinated me. I did several variations on them.

It took a few seconds for me to realize what they’d done with that sign. Very clever.
I still haven’t quite sorted out the reflections here. The flax reflection seems to be threaded through other reflections in the water – or is that underwater growth? Everytime I look, I see it differently, which makes for an image as intriguing as it is pleasing.

Some low aquatic plants seem to be on the surface of the water, but after half a year I’m afraid I no longer remember everything the flax reflections were intermingled with. Guess we’ll have to let the mystery be.

So do I, but I’ll have to add that the Canadian Rockies are giving you some stiff competition.

It’s our first visit here and we’re loving it. I hope you get a chance to see it too.
