Green Theme: Pic #4

The greens and blues of western mountain scenery enhanced our enjoyment of a hiking day last summer. 

Green Theme: Pic #3

Around this time last year, we were in a very green part of the world - Trinidad and Tobago. Every day, I drank in the beautiful scenery surrounding us, from the tropical foliage that grew in the wild to the lush potted plants that gardeners arranged artistically. It seemed that even a non-green thumbist could have been successful in raising plants there. Just stick a seed or seedling in some dirt, set it outside, and bloom! there's your gorgeous greenery.

Yesterday I indicated that the color of hope is green. Then, upon seeing this fruit on the grocery store shelves, I wasn't so sure. Maybe yellow is more like it. Can I hope that these bananas will actually turn from hope to hope?

Week #47 Theme: Green

This week, in the middle of cold and barren and grey, I have decided to "go green" with my blog pics. In this first photo, you can see the brilliant grassy slopes of Spring that dazzled us in Plymouth, Massachusetts while we toured that area on a trip out east a few years ago. Green must be the color of hope!

If this was a youngster bird, its mom or pop would probably chirp, "Don't sing with your beak full." (I don't think he could if he tried.)

The geese and the gulls had the beach to themselves, I guess, on a sunny day last Fall. Ken and I spotted these feathered flocks on the shore of Lake Erie when we paused our Vienna orchards tour and drove to Port Burwell for lunch.

Birds Theme: Pic #5

A couple of springs ago, I enjoyed watching this Mrs. Robin do her work in the nest while I did mine in the flowerbed below her. She seemed to fix her soft and motherly eye on me, which gave me a sort of companion-y feeling.
