Looking for Green

Posted by
Elaine Hancock (Olney, United States) on 13 February 2023 in Plant & Nature.

It was really overcast and gloomy on Saturday and I just wanted to get out of the house. I drove to Lake Needwood and went to the area above the lake that is all woods. I took a couple of pictures, the one yesterday and today and a few more but none of them turned out very well.

Dans quelques jours toute la végétation va reverdir et refleurir.... les beaux jours seront bientôt là !
Bonne journée Elaine

Joli sol de sous bois qui doit sentir bon l'humus.

That low mossy branch is defying the brown of the winter woods, and it suggests spring is not too far away

The image is hazy but I love that mood!! Saw also the stony face and yesterday's image!! Awaiting Stella's portrait :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

@Devi: I will definitely find one!

Does Stella accompany you on your drives? My son's family says their Draco (German Shepherd) loved the car drives and goes and sits near the car the moment they get out!!!!

@Devi: Stella loves to go for rides in the car. If I am just out for a drive and not leaving the car, I will take her with me. She has a bed that fastens into the front passenger seat and then a harness that attaches to the seatbelt. She has room enough to stand up and look out of the window.

Fantastic low point of view.

We're all looking for green this time of year! Although I would love at least another 24" of snow. There haven't been many opportunities for winter photos this season. :-(

@Steven: It hasn't snowed here at all except for a very light dusting. More rain it seems than usual and a lot of gray overcast skies.

Don Hudson from White Rock, Canada

No snow!! ;-) A lovely walk, Elaine, with a "green promise" eager to show itself ! The DoF is perfect for the scene!

The important thing is that you got out. A little nature is always good for the soul.

It looks like you found the green and isolated it nicely in this photo.
