First, from my home country, I bring you the green of Scotland, found in the grounds of Bothwell Castle, and bearing the hope of spring...
...Raindrops on snowdrops at Blair Castle...
...and a drink called a Highland Mojito which is made with green limes and green mint (and a beautiful amber liqueur called Atholl Brose).
From my own hometown this winter, the green traffic lights, which compared to these other greens appears more of a pale bluish green...
From Cyprus, the dusty sage and forest greens from the grounds of the Kourion Theatre....
From Bali, the brilliant greens of the rice fields. There's something so peaceful about these, I could have stood there and looked at them all day.
From Australia, the vibrant green shared with just as intense reds, oranges, and purples...
...as well as the turquoise of the sea-water-swimming pool in Sydney.
But finally, we get to the green greens of Ireland. Here are the woods in Killarney County Park...
...and the depths of Granny's Castle near Waterford.
Finally, though, we close with a genuine (Northern) Irishman, wearing green...
May the road rise up to meet you!
