Images in Green

On Monday morning theTravelsketcher and I headed to the Oregon coast to enjoy more of this stunning area. However, by Tuesday morning I had come down with a nasty cold, and by Wednesday morning we were back home and I was in bed. Needless to say, I haven’t felt up to writing a post, so instead I decided to share some images in green.

For many, nature may be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of green, as it is seen so prolifically in the world around us. Others may think of money, greed, envy; it is a color that conjures many different emotions. When I think of green, I think of nature, renewal, regrowth and rejuvenation. Green growth is the first sign that winter is waning and spring’s arrival is imminent.

There’s nothing better than wandering through a lush, green forest, on a soft, quiet trail, lined with verdant, towering trees, moss covered rocks and perhaps the sound of a gently, flowing brook in the distance. It’s a natural anti-depressant.

It seems very safe to me to be surrounded by green growing things and water. Barbara Kingsolver.

Green is prevalent all around us in animals, foods and human-made structures just to name a few.

Green is the fresh emblem of well founded hopes. In blues, the spirit can wander, but in green it can rest. Mary Webb

I hope you enjoyed these photos and thoughts. Hopefully, I’ll be well enough next week to provide a proper post. As always, I would love to hear from you, so leave a comment if you’d like.

Stay safe and healthy,
