Even though I enjoy the glorious azaleas, rhododendrons, tulips, and other flowers and trees that bloom in springtime, there's nothing quite as dramatic as the myriad shades of green when the trees bud on the hillsides near my home. I took these pictures along the Green River in Kent, Washington. Click on photos to enlarge.

Oh, I am a big fan of green! In these parts, we have our best shades of green in the spring. The river shot reminds me of a house where I lived for thirteen years in the foothills, just above the river. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteLove your post title! LOL
I'm glad my photo brought back good memories. When I posted it, I realized why it's called the Green River.
DeleteThe green river is so notorious for such a bad reason, it is lovely to see pictures of the river looking so peaceful and green. Anne@My Head is Full of Books
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I couldn't help but think of the Green River Killer as I took my photos.
DeleteI had to google the Green River Killer and then read through his history.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful and one would never know.
Looks like home! Beautiful photos, Sandy! I especially like the one of the Green River. Too bad the media had to associate this lovely river with a killer.

I think Ann Rule's book on the subject also added to the hoopla.
DeleteSo green. What a contrast with our spring. Today we have still, spring snow. It will be a while before we see green. Thanks for sharing these photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didn't find my all-green photos boring!
DeleteI say, you can't have too much green! Just starting to green up here in NE Wyoming. A few crocus and daffodils have appeared and the willows have started to bud out. But still a bit brown for my taste! Thanks for sharing your 50 Shades of Green! :)
ReplyDeleteI was raised in Texas so I know all about brown! In winter, the grass goes dormant and turns brown. Then it's green in springtime but with the 100+ degree temps in summer, it often turns brownish yellow again. I do love the year-round green here in the Pacific Northwest.
DeleteGorgeous! I love when the green of spring returns. We've had a lot of rain lately, so everything around here is "greening" up nicely!
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of rain too, but that's normal in the Pacific Northwest.
DeleteIn our watercolor class, we're learning about all the variations that one color can have. Your photos are a perfect example from nature of the glories of green. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was afraid they might be a little bit dull.
DeleteI love your play on words title and terrific colors in your pics. We don't have anywhere near that much green yet. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I do look forward to these pictures :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoy my photos. I'm having fun participating in Saturday Snapshots - a break from all the writing-related stuff.
DeleteWhat a lovely dose of green! Still not quite there yet here in the Northeast!
ReplyDeleteSpring greens are so beautiful. I'm enjoying autumn colours here.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy all the golds, red, and yellows of autumn too and will probably post photos of trees in that season too.
DeleteBeautiful photos. They really capture this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
