websters definition of emerald

sun was just right, peeking through the trees. words dont do justice to the variety and vibrance of the greens. this is Clearwater Falls, a barely marked, nondescript stop on the side of the road through the Umpqua National Forest that we stopped at because it was time to wake ER from her 10 minute nappie. we stopped at three more places on the same road that were all beautiful but unique in their own natural way. clearwater was my favorite. - c
