#6 in my series FREEDOM GREEN for the Iranian flickr community and the people of Iran. A friend in Iran asked me to dedicate this photo as follows:
“I hope this will be a green movement in every aspect of life, not just political. Please dedicate this to all the young and old, men and women of Iran who fight for freedom by bravely standing in the streets in opposition to the shameless, horrible guards and hardliners. What people in Iran really want is peace, freedom, truth, wisdom and a better future.”
My friend also provided the following poem by the 12th century Iranian poet, Saadi:
The Children of Adam are limbs of each other
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others
Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man.
Photograph: In Iran, the garden is a sanctuary - a place for relaxation, contemplation, and enjoyment of nature and all things green. In desert towns, water for maintaining the garden and for use in the home, was supplied by an ingenious system of underground water tunnels (qanats) that transported water from the higher mountains to the dessert floor. Smaller viaducts would run off from such tunnels and supply individual homes and their gardens with water. The stream of water is often a decorative focus in the garden. This photograph, taken in a lovely hotel in Yazd Iran, depicts many elements of the Persian garden - water, fountains, trees and roses. The english word paradise derives from the Persian word for garden.
These decanters grouped together and illuminated with their green contents were begging to be photographed, hotel Demetria in Guadalajara, Mexico.
"And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1

I ♥ katamari! My kids and I would play this game for hours. This little katamari pincushion is made from acrylic felt, a recycled bottlecap, new (but rescued-from-the-thrift-store) embroidery thread, and lots of polyfil.

The "afterglow" of a nice Aurora, sadly i missed the most impressive part while searching for my camera.
I could just set down by the side of the Anhinga Trail and photograph these little herons fishing as long as I wanted to -- they didn't seem to pay any attention to the people watching or passing by.
Wikipedia: Green Herons are intolerant of other birds when feeding and are not seen to forage in groups. They typically stand still on shore or in shallow water or perch upon branches and await prey. Sometimes they drop food, insects, or other small objects on the water's surface to attract fish, making them one of the few known tool-using species.
