Project Green: Take One - Gathering Moss

We're Going Green!

If you're a regular reader you know that a couple of weeks ago I participated in Project Yellow with Anna of Anna Carson Photography. This week Anna is beginning her new project - Project Green or affectionately known as PG. This week she is out to find green and has again invited us to participate right along with her. Let the fun begin!

I was out Sunday afternoon taking pictures of the blossoms in my trees and as I started to step up onto the porch I noticed how green the moss was since it had rained the night before. My friend Tom at Welcome to Wigger's World had just done his post Sunday about moss and I had commented to him that when I moved into my home last summer I wasn't sure I wanted to keep it, but was glad I had. So, I snapped a photo to blog about and show Tom.

I had fully expected Anna to choose blue. I had thought primary colors. She had done red and yellow. So, maybe blue. I guess that was the primary teacher coming through. I had looked at that blue building in her header for days and thought it was a clue and for days I had been snapping blue! At eleven o'clock I checked her post. Surprise, she had chosen that other primary color -green!

I started looking at the photos I had downloaded the past couple of days and there was the moss that I had already forgotten about. I was saved - yeah! But, I was shortly faced with a dilemma. I was waiting to be able to sign in to Mr. Linky on number 10 - a nice even number. While waiting I began looking at those participants already signed up and lo and behold Dawn at My Home Sweet Home had already posted her, are you ready, moss picture. Should I or shouldn't I? I did. Be sure to go on over and check out Dawn's too. Her moss is on a stone that stopped rolling and ended up gathering moss!

The photo below is a macro shot I tried to do of the little green plant in the moss. Be sure to enlarge the top photo to check it out! For some reason the bottom one isn't enlarging.

If you're interested in joining Project Green or just checking out other participants be sure to check out Anna's blog for the rules and how to sign up. Click on her link above to get there.

A Glimpse of What's to Be





I love how the tops of the acorns are lying in the midst of the iris' pushing through.






I love the green against the brick.







Spring broccoli it ain't!!!








I hope the tender lilac buds survive the passing deer. This would be a tempting dessert for them!!
