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!
This is the aptly-named Emerald Lake in Yoho national park in British Columbia in Canada. It really is that green too!
A beautiful green hue truly reflects this lake’s name. The colour gets very intense in the summer, and Mount Burgess complements the backdrop. What a perfect scenario it is to visit the Cilantro restaurant located across the bridge and enjoy a drink while taking in views of the lake. Emerald Lake is the largest lake in Yoho National Park, BC, maybe 20 minutes of Lake Louise. This is a different shot, from a different angle, and I love it, hope you do too.
Enjoy it!
Thanks for your visits and comments. As always, appreciated very much!

“Emerald Eyes”. One usually doesn’t 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.

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.

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!

From our quick visit to Lake Tahoe last week when the promised snow storms evaporated into thin air. But the clouds were beautiful down at Emerald Bay just before sunset.
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday! And thanks for all your nice comments and faves -- they mean a lot to me.
