Spots of green are appearing here and there
While the ground is still covered with leaves,
lichen in the fallen branches
highlights my path as I walk along
Small sprouts lifting their heads up on stumps
This lichen in the tree will soon be hidden by the new, green leaves
Spring meets autumn
- green and brown,
side by side
I heart
the small greens
of April

ReplyDeleteThanks Yolanda - Your picture of the warm pasta is brilliant - I can almost smell the lovely scent arising from your photo :)
DeleteI love the first picture. Oh how I would love to see grass right now. All the photos are lovely Nina. Have a glorious day!
ReplyDeleteAll that snow piling up around you - I hope this was the last snow storm this spring ... It's time for warmth and sun, to smelt the snow and give place to new growth again!
DeleteI am your newest follower from the Aloha Friday Blog Hop!!! These pictures are Simply beautiful!!! My brother has lived in Oslo for years and I think Scandinavia is beautiful! Have a wonderful weekend!!!:)
ReplyDeleteSo happy you left a note - I followed your blog filled with encouragement and words of wisdom! Oh Oslo is a beautiful place - mountains, water, nature! A Blessed weekend to you!
DeleteLove all of these shades of green!
ReplyDeleteThanks Patrice! I'll come back and ask you more about scrap booking .. I only have a trial photoshop for 2o days from now ... I wonder if one can do scrapbooking with the free editing programs as well?
DeleteThe green will spread and you will soon have a very colorful world. Nice shades of green.
ReplyDeleteThe first greens in the spring are so bright ... I look forward of taking a walk in the forest then :)
DeleteThat is some nice macro photography.
ReplyDeleteThank you ... I often times focus on the small details when walking in the nature - the camera is a fine way of exposing them :)
DeleteNina, lichens are some of my favorite things, and you captured them beautifully!
ReplyDeleteVery happy images of green!
Is that right, Amanda - I've been captured by the different types of lichens since my childhood - there's so many of them in Finland, especially in the Northern Finland - Im also concerned for their future, since they grow best in places where the air is clean and no pollution. I do respect them when walking in the forest - the grey, swampy lichen in the summertime is hard and breaks easily - but it has taken many years for it to grow, so I prefer walking beside them, not to smash them ...
DeleteSO happy you shared your beautiful green captures in this weeks Nurture Photography ;)
So very beautiful, lichens can be so precious and appealing
ReplyDeleteIt's greening up here too! I'm hoping we've seen the last of the snow. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful green!

Stunning Green captures! I can't pick a favorite. I love spring, and green is so my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteWonderful macros! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
This. is. BEAUTIFUL. I am in awe of each photo. You had me with that first image. I'd love to know more about your process- what lens? what settings? I'm so happy to see snippets of green popping up everywhere! I heart the small greens of April too! Thanks for sharing and linking to our Nurture Photography Challenge this week! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for Lilac/Flowers.
