Color me Green

For most people a green path leads inevitably to thoughts of nature. Mother Nature painted more green on earth than any other color. It is the hue of foliage, grass, and growing plants; of graceful sheltering trees, dappled meadows and clinging vines; the shade of forest and jungle. Green is so pervasive in nature that we never question it as a background for all other surrounding colors. Contrasting with purple pansies, pink azaleas, yellow daylilies, orange marigolds or red tulips (and any other color under the sun), leafy foliage greens are truly nature's perfect neutral. 

 I didn't write the above description.  I took it from the Pantone website.


 The other day I entertained myself with my macro lens searching the house for colorful things.  Today I'd like to share my "green" pictures.  It might be difficult to figure out what some of the pictures are.  I will tell you at the end of the blog.  Enjoy green!
