Sunday wonders - G

G is for Green.

Green is probably the main color of the West Coast where I live.  We have green all year round but there are times when the greens are especially beautiful...or unusual...or useful.

We live in a rain forest which is immediately apparent when we go walking through the mountain trails.  Look at the moss covering this tree.  It reminds me of the fuzz on a deer's antlers.

The brightest green these deer found in this spot was the paint on this wheelbarrow.  The fading green of the pea-vines caught their interest, though.

These playing fields are very green...

There are summer greens...

And early morning greens burnished by the rising sun.

Some greens are not leaves...

There is a beautiful tender green under the peeling bark of the arbutus tree.

My daughter's garden was crammed full of different greens last summer...

However,  Nature's garden produces my favorite flower with it's edible green leaves.  How clever it is to have so many greens which look good with any color.  And how sensible to have so many green that we can eat.  Now I can't wait for spring - and that first dandelion.
