First – a huge thank you for being honored once again by you, the audience, for yet another Audience Choice Award on the Let’s Be Wild photo challenge! This week’s challenge is Green. I have already done a lot of green lately, but thankfully, I am able to share with you additional shots of the lovely shade of green!
Let’s start with one of my favorite shots that features the color green. I was lucky to get a call from my neighbor and friend Ethel to come over to check out the bugs on her garage wall! Check out this amazing Katydid!

Pretty, isn’t she?
Let’s take a walk through green, shall we? Ferns abound at this time of year, and they are just truly lovely to see!
Green symmetry
I was amazed at the symmetry of the two separate sprouting fronds in the above photo! There are some big ones too! Here is a shot of fern fiddles with the lovely greens of their leaves behind them.

Walking around I have found some everyday plants in the wild. Check out the wild spinach and strawberries!

Then there is the woolly mullein that is all over the place here. The miners used this for TP during the gold rush!

My garden has one of my favorite vegetables: Broccoli! And I was lucky enough to catch a visitor when I took this shot!

I really like these shots too. These are photos of some of the moss that is in abundance here at this time of year!

John – First, thank you for your comment! I love the gifts that nature provides me when I put my eye up to the viewfinder of my camera! My hope is that I will be able to provide those who do not have the time to see what I take the time to look at! Again, thank you for your comment!
