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?

Farm Animals

Last week, I did my first CFFC photo challenge, and it was so much fun, I had to give it another go. I’m doing a double challenge again this week. Thanks to Cee for posting such intriguing caategories. You can find out more about Cee’s Fun Poetry Challenges here: https://ceenphotography.com/fun-foto-challenge/

Most of my photos are of wild animals. The only farm animals photos I have are of horses. So, the first three are of horses.

Weathered Wood

The other challenge category was Weathered Wood, and it just so happens I’m a big fan of old buildings.
