Owl’s Clover.

This Owl’s Clover really has nothing to do with our web server – we were adjusting a few photos from earlier in the trip for a customer, and I thought it was kinda purdy, so I went with it.

I tried, but couldn’t come up with a composition in which I didn’t appear in at least one of the mirrors, so I decided to do this multi-portrait.
