Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park is a short drive from our home in #Memphis, #Tennessee. It has been a welcoming forest for camping and hiking, and we have witnessed countless moonrises from the shores of Poplar Tree Lake in the park. This second-person ode contemplates these experiences and the wisdom gained from knowing this special place in western Tennessee.

In another place, I'm doing a thread of islands I've visited, because it fits my username. One photo every day or so. But sometimes an extra photo slips in that I can't use (because one photo per island) so I'll have to share it here.

St Tredwell's Loch, on Papa Westray, one of the smaller islands of Orkney. I don't know why a lake on an island seems so odd, but it does. Maybe because of how close it is to the sea. (You might be able to see the strip of blue sea behind the loch.)

Photo is taken from St Tredwell's Chapel, the ruins of a Medieval chapel built over Iron Age remains, or an overgrown bunch of rocks on a hill. (As you can in the foreground.)

If you're into photos of islands, the thread starts here:

A large, flat green-grey body of water. In the foreground is a bank covered with scruffy grass and some grey rocks covered with white lichen. In the background is a long strip of grassland curving around the loch. A huddle of stone buildings are just visible on the far side. Behind them is a blue strip of sea and beyond that, another low island. There are some white dots on the water, which are actually swans but too far away to see.

Lakes change color based on how healthy they are, their colors reflecting the ongoing physical and biochemical processes.

• Blue lakes are primarily located in northern latitudes.

• Green lakes are more prevalent in densely populated mid-latitude regions such as southern Europe.

• Reddish and yellowish lakes are mainly in the Southern Hemisphere.

"However, significant changes in lake color can signal ecological disturbances."

Another cracking day in #Cumbria. Pasties from Chester's by the River at Skelwith Bridge followed by a gentle stroll up the river to Elterwater with dippers and goosander then looping back via Loughrigg Tarn.

Not the longest or most strenuous walk in the world but the #Lakes was at it's best so enjoyable none the less.
