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

“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 Emerald Lakes are located on The Tongariro Alpine Crossing in Tongariro National Park, New Zealand, it is considered to be the most popular one-day Hike in New Zealand (Or as Kiwis say: a one-day tramp), throughout the entire hike there is astounding volcanic scenery.
Probably the most amazing part of the nearly 20 kilometers hike of Tongariro Alpine Crossing is the Emerald Lakes, usually on days with good weather, the hike is packed with people.
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.
