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!
“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.

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.
Conservation status: Least Concern
We got to the polygonal lakes. They are called polygonal because of the peculiarity of the bottom soil, which forms geometrically regular polygons during freezing. It was raining as usual. The color of the water was simply mesmerizing, so I ran around these lakes and took pictures, despite the slight inconvenience of rain

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.

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.
