Day 249 - Fall's approaching

Although fall is still a couple weeks away, the leaves are on their own schedule and have starting turning colours. These leaves caught my eye because you could actually see the change mid-process. I like the mixture of the red and green. It almost looks like the leaves have some kind of rash.

Day 208 - It's Not Easy being Green

It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
Like a mountain, or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be

Day 45 - Winter Green

Today we went walking in the woods. It's relaxing for us and the dogs LOVE being off lead. As always, I brought my camera along, hoping to snap a few shots. My focus seemed to be tree closeups. I chose this one because it gives us a little bit of green no matter the season or temperature. When you look at the picture closely it almost looks like another mini forest.
