The Bliss of Green

5/15/2016

4 Comments

 
It's hard to describe the joy I get when I'm feel completely enveloped in color.  In spring and fall the colors in the woods are so intense.  They almost glow.  And when I'm deep in the woods, plants crowding the path, surrounding me, and sunlight is pouring through the canopy setting everything alight...all I can do is stand still, soak it in, and smile.
In spring the color is green.  Everything everywhere is turning green.  That bright yellow-green.  The forest floor is carpeted with maple seedlings, young trees splash fresh leaves into the spaces between dark brown trunks, and the ceiling is a kaleidoscope of green, brown, and light.

Your prose was wonderful - made me feel as if I was actually there with you experiencing all the many and varied colors of green. The pictures were great as well. I think I could actually smell the blossoms. Nice day at the Arboretum. Thanks for sharing.

Those greens almost glow! I especially liked the boggy board path.
