Green is synonymous with nature and distinguishes Earth from the other planets we've learned about in the universe like barren Mars. But there are a range of other colours, too, that bring glitz to the eye, especially this time of year when I go for my walks.
Wisteria and poppies are painted in bold shades. They are stars of the daylight.
Worlds within worlds exist in these blooms. They can take our breath away.
Yet few petals thrive without the green of leaves and stems to bind the palettes together. Spanish poet Pedro Calderon de la Barca said:
"Green is the prime colour of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." Perhaps that is why the shade is associated not only with love of nature and harmony but also with envy.
Wherever I roam, greens are near, revived and nurtured by the West Coast rain.
I see multiple of its hues growing alongside the flowers ...
framing many of nature's patterns.
Greens are reflected in ponds and streams,
admired and appreciated where emerald canopies cover the pathways.
