Wulai Creek was not always this emerald ribbon winding through the mountains. For years its waters bore the scars of pollution, dulled and burdened by neglect. Yet patient restoration slowly unveiled what had been hidden beneath. Today the creek glows with a luminous green, clear and refreshing, its surface catching fragments of the forest above. Reflections of overhanging foliage ripple across the water, blending leaf and stream into a single tapestry of living colour.
Meanwhile, Joel remains quite unwell, and we have already postponed his birthday dinner once. As the days pass, I find myself hoping more than anything that he recovers soon, so that the celebration can finally take place—not as a compromise, but as the joyful occasion it was always meant to be.

DeleteHere is wishing that Joel recovers quickly so you can celebrate his birthday. properly. Your photo of the creek is calm and soothing. Good to know it is not less polluted.
ReplyDeleteWishing Joel recovers soon. Well done Taiwan at cleaning up waterways and making it a very pretty creek.
ReplyDelete...serene!
ReplyDeleteEmerald green is a gorgeous colour and this photo is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI, too, hope Joel recovers, but I hope you will continue to avoid boring normality. I suspect that being around geriatrics keeps you from terminal normality. (insert dumb smiley-here)
ReplyDeleteGlorious colour, almost unreal.
ReplyDeleteI hope Joel is now fully recovered and able to celebrate.
De vez en cuando los seres humanos nos debemos felicitar y por la recuperación de este río es una de ellas.
