Green to Me
Green to me is grass and trees and all sorts of growing things.
Green is a peaceful, quiet day
As slow and lazy as the little green turtle,
Which makes its way through soft green grass with no place better to be.
Green is listening to the ripples of the creek as the water flows by
And the croaking of a green frog, which hops away when he’s spotted.
Green is the heavy scent of pine which fills the air in a thickly wooded forest
Where the violet-green swallows make their home.
Green is fresh spinach growing in the garden,
Waiting to be chopped and cooked up to nourish.
Greens of Nature
Green Food
Green Buildings?

I agree, Viv. I remember as a child, lying in the grass, looking up at the clouds moving across the sky, and the smell of the grass filled my head, and to me, that was what green smelled like.

Great photos (especially the food). I love how you captured some critters in the greenery. I also like your opening thoughts on green.

Thanks for letting me join in the challenge. I have always loved bright, bold colors. Once I wrote an erotic poem about colors, but that’s another story. Lol. 🙂

Yes. That is Timber. He is considerably bigger now. He just turned three and has grown into a beautiful dog, although not quite as cute. 🐾😊
