shades of green
Originally uploaded by cjohnson7.
Spring is here at last.
The green tips of the crocuses arise skyward; the birds of summer have returned. They are ravenous from their journey. My bags of birdseed empty faster than bottles of good wine at a dinner party.
I've often wondered how many shades of green one could find in a day. Hundreds I would think.
In Ireland they claim over a thousand. But we Irish once in awhile, though very rarely, claim more than a few things with just a pinch of literary license. (Son, yer great-great-great grandfather was the King of Cork I'm positive).
The next warm and sunny day that finds me, I hope to take a long Spring ride on the motorcycle and head way into the countryside. There I hope to don hiking boots and take a little walkabout to count a day's worth of greenness.
Should be a lovely way to spend a day.

Wow, it really must be spring, because even the funny letters in the Captcha are glowing spring green.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful ride, walk, and day's worth.
Have you had ever been on a motorcycle in Ireland? I'm busy applying for work there and wonder if I'd be able to continue my hobby there.
