The Colour Green

I am mad about the colour green - and this is a great time to love green. One benefit of the constant rain - green. Never have I seen green so deep, so rich, so effervescent. On a grey and rainy day, the green vibrates so strongly in the new leaves of maples and alders, in the goemetric needles of horsetail grass, in the unfurling fronds of ferns and in the mosses, grasses and shrubs of the forest understory, it is as if they are carrying their own sunshine.

I celebrate green.
