it's not a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty kind of question, owl explained. it's really not a question at all, she continued. it's a matter of abundance, she asserted. she went on to say, in much more detail - the color green is everywhere, the sound of chlorophyl set to a photosynthetic beat, the hues we view in every imaginable tonal variation, every subtle gradation, every lighting situation, the last tones to fade into greyness as the sun sleeps and leaves the sky to the waxing moon. the trick is not to become mesmerized, hypnotized after being armed with the knowledge, the wisdom of il bosco, distracted into overlooking these tiny spectral emanations, the subtle signs that lead a person from here to there, from la costa tra il bosco alle colline e poi alle montagne.
why go to the mountains? a tiny voice whispered in the darkness. why leave la spiaggia, why abandon the creeks and mud, why wander into a place we know nothing about?
we go to go, to see, to know, to understand the ebb and flow, another view, a higher key, the scents of something yet unspoken, a language to be introspected from a place that shatters old perspectives. don't you want to see, she asked.
i suppose i do. will you go, too?
she smiled, she winked, she spread her wings, did wise old owl. this way, she huuhuu’d.

Just after closing the door this morning I noticed this leaf of a bunch of flowers which did not fit in the vase and was trown outside...

Blue skies, sunshine, temps in the mid 60s! A mid-winter's dream of a day - and a walk around our neighbhorhood and park.
Despite the teasing temps, winter is still evident in the bare trees, landscapes of sienna and pine green, and not even a dandelion to be found. This is the view from the entry to our neighborhood - grasses and tangles of left over vegetation, a few sparse leaves on the trees, pines giving the air a breath of chlorophyl. Even with blue skies, the view says 'winter' .....
Today we drop almost 30 degrees and cold, wet, grey weather returns. Still the minor respite at the end of the month was incredibly uplifting and just the boost in optimism we all seem to need this time of year. Hope you have a grand week!
When leaves of Floribandas r young they do not contain Chlorophyl so the red colour of them! again one from my garden!

Some of the best colors in Grand Rapids right now are on the ground ... the leaves lose their chlorophyl (sp?) much faster once they've separated from the tree.
Took this at East Paris Nature Preserve in Kentwood (where the trees themselves are still 85% green, 10% yellow and 5% red / orange.
Worth the click to see this LARGE and ON BLACK:

Looks ok by me!
Have a great week :-)

I set out this morning to photograph some Gentian flowers that I thought would be in bloom at Eva Chandler Heritage Preserve in the upstate of South Carolina. I found them only in bud. I looked around to see what else I could photograph and had just about given up when I spotted these really nice seed capsules of Monotropa uniflora (Indian Pipes).
This is a plant with no chlorophyl, so since it can not photosynthesize, it has to get its nutrients from the best place it can: an underground fungus. This type of plant is called an obligate mycoheterotroph. It is a parasite on a fungus which breaks down decayed material.
Most of the Indian Pipes I've seen as flowering plants are generally white with an occasional touch of pink, but these must have really been pretty as flowers, since the stem and seed capsule are quite a beautiful shade of pink.
