Sea of Green!

While most of the lawns in my area have turned a crunchy shade of brown, down by our neighborhood lake, things are still bursting with color! The color GREEN! Not only are the weeds and plants at the lake's edge thriving, but almost the entire back end of the lake is covered in aquatic plants!

Here's Wilson, sitting in the morning sun, against a backdrop of overgrown vegetation. I have monkeyed (or that would be PicMonkey-ed) with it a bit, but the contrast truly was this vivid! As soon as I saw this photo, Ringo Starr's voice popped into my head with some of the words from Yellow Submarine.....

As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
(One of us, has all we need)
Sky of blue and sea of green
(Sky of blue, sea of green)
In our yellow submarine
(In our yellow, submarine, aha)

As that little ditty gets stuck in your brain.....here's Wilson.......

I Couldn't Think of a Title for This Post!

I couldn't come up with anything clever, not-so-clever, whatever.....as a title for this photo. Do you have any ideas?

This fence was along the walk we took yesterday morning. The backyard it outlined was fully wooded, so this fence never sees the sun. As a result, the slats are permanently green with moss or maybe algae. It made a neat photo background. Other than the rounded edges that I got from PicMonkey, this is pretty much what the scene looked like. It was an overcast morning so the colors were muted and monochromatic and Wilson contrasted with the fence nicely.

Green is the Word, Green is the Word....

...Is the word that is Seen! (a bit of paraphrasing from Grease lyrics)

I love this time of year when all the trees, grass, and plants are still vibrant, lush, and green. The summer heat and sun have yet to scorch the colors to browns.

 

Happy Monday!
