Triple Sunburst at the Ocean by taffy

Triple Sunburst at the Ocean

Our last morning on the beach for our little Florida mini-vacation was really beautiful. First a sunrise that I was too tired to get dressed to photograph, but I did see it. Then, time on the beach with my crystal ball as the sun was rising (more shots later this week, I suspect). The three sunbursts are: the real one, the teeny reflection at the top of the crystal, and the main one in the sky of the crystal.

@anazad511 :-) Thanks Ana! I threw it in at the last minutes and was so glad I did! There are so many great shots on 365 with the balls on the beach so I really wanted to do one myself.

@busylady @shepherdmanswife Thanks for the kind words! I bought mine on Ebay awhile ago and went back on to see if I could find the history. This comes the closest to the one I have: http://www.ebay.com/itm/50mm-Stand-Asian-Rare-Natural-Quartz-Clear-Magic-Crystal-Healing-Ball-Sphere-/161179242181?pt=AU_RocksFossilsMinerals&hash=item2587080ec5 - -it's 50mm. Mine may be a little smaller but it's close. I might have gotten one slightly larger if I had it to do over again, but not by much.
