You Capture - Green

We haven't been going outside as much lately. It rains a lot in the afternoons and the humidity is just stifling. I can be outside for just a minute and already feel the sweat beading on my forehead and forming underneath the back of my shirt.

STIFLING I say.

However, the other afternoon it wasn't actually that bad.

Don't get me wrong, it was still warm, but for whatever reason the humidity has subsided somewhat and I found myself actually enjoying the weather a bit.

Just enough to take some really GREEN pictures...



If you look down the front sidewalk you see a lot of GREEN - and perhaps a little boy on his four-wheeler

I love the leaves on this plant as they begin to open. The 'spirally' pattern is so pretty.

This little guy was peeking out of the bush by the garage.


I didn't even realize there was a fly in this picture until I saw it on the computer.


And the boys say - 'bring on the rain!' They do love GREEN, especially The B Man (his favorite color. Perhaps one of the reasons I chose this subject matter...hmmm)

Don't you just love how you can see the ripples from the drop of rain in the puddle? Cool.

Today GREEN is my happy color.

Hope you are happy today too!

  7. Green is so pretty! It's so hot here that all the grass is turning brown so we're very thankful for a good down pour of rain to perk it back up. Last year they banned portions of our city from using sprinkler systems because of a drout... crazy huh?
