Saint Patrick"s Green Photo

Photographer’s Note

"For 'tis green, green, where the ruined towers are gray, And it's green, green, all the happy night and day; Green of leaf and green of sod, green of ivy on the wall, And the blessed Irish shamrock with the fairest green of all." -- Mary Elizabeth Blake

My mother's father was from Irish immigrants who made it to the opportunites of the Oklahoma Territory at the turn of the 20th century. He was very special in many ways, especially to me and he was born on Saint Patrick's Day. I almost made it by being born on March 18th.

This image is of the pathway to Akaka Falls through a rainforest on the Big Island of Hawaii. (And a bonus for me with my 100th photo posting.)

Hi Ray,

Well, then... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
And congrats on your 100th - it makes me realize how time flies.
Nice shot here, more than fitting for St. Patrick's Day. A very clever idea to post something green. Good composition, too, with the trail leading into the center of the shot. Those different shades of green are very fascinating. Looks like a place I'd love to see some day.

Best wishes,
Claudia

PS: How are your plans for your visit to Germany coming along?
