“How sweetly lies old Ireland, Emerald green beyond the foam, awakening sweet memories, calling the heart back home.”
This challenge proposed a challenge for me having just returned from a one week jaunt in Ireland, my mother’s homeland and the magical country often referred to as “a thousand shades of green.” The many photographs I took displayed the countryside in magnificent hues – emerald, jade, moss, olive, mint. All different, all breathtakingly beautiful. Which one is your favorite?
