Emerald river dance
with such velvety grace
to the rhythm of the Earth
And every beat reveals
magic pathways of light
where each seeker finds rebirth
The sun to the bleating absence of sound
And you will hear what is

Found this old shot from a good few years ago! And a very very old camera too!

βEmerald Eyesβ. One usually doesnβt think of the Double Crested Cormorant as a beautiful animal, but in the world of birds these emerald green eyes are hard to beat. There are few other animals that have such eyes. This image of of a female is preening at sunset. The sun hitting the eyes brings out the sparkling gems.

Wikipedia: Papilio palinurus, the emerald swallowtail, emerald peacock, or green-banded peacock, is a butterfly of the genus Papilio of the family Papilionidae. It is native to Southeast Asia, but is regularly kept in butterfly houses around the world.
The iridescent green sheen of the bands of this butterfly is not produced by pigments, but is structural coloration produced by the microstructure of the wing scales. They refract the light and give rise to blue and yellow visible reflections, producing the perception of green color when additively mixed.

The metallic-green Emerald damselfly can be seen from June to September around ponds, lakes, ditches and canals. Unlike other damselflies, it holds its wings half-open when perched.
The Emerald damselfly is a medium-sized damselfly that lives among lush vegetation around the edges of ponds, lakes, ditches and canals. When perched, Emerald damselflies have a habit of holding their wings half-open, rather than closed along the length of their body like other damselflies. The last species of damselfly to emerge in the UK each year, they are on the wing from the end of June to September.
A sunny, clouds and raining alternately day, hiking around Emerald Lake for 5 kms. Due to raining, the trail was very muddy, slippery and uneven portions along the lake path, but worth walking along it. Lots of photo opportunities as you wandered along with the lake one side and mountains on the other, the mountains was like on a fire!

Another first for me - I was so happy to find this gorgeous green hairstreak in our local butterfly meadow. I'd only seen photos before, but the dazzling green didn't disappoint!
Tau Emerald Dragonfly (Hemicordulia tau)
It chose the highest part of the Jade Plant to perch. But, I was on my knees for this shot!
