[THEME] Green --- color of life

[Frank Fremerey]

Yesterday I went into full emotional mode and was overwhelmed about how green my living environment is. First series:

Near the edge of the bay the green mixes with orange.

Can you guess the wild fruit, can you guess the wild fruit?

[Frank Fremerey]

Woodley. Looks like something in our botanical garden. I guess it is an unripe nut of some kind

[Woodley Willie]

Frank, I first heard the fruit called an Arkansas banana.  Up here in Maryland, and other East Coast states,  they are called a pawpaw.  This is early in their season...late September they will be ripe.  Very good eating!

Lars, that is a beautiful exposure, and I really like the saturation in the shades of green

Thanks Buddy! It was shot with an old Minolta 50mm standard lens that needed dusting - realised I should make more use of it.

Lars, you nailed the bokeh and the color nicely!

Here's my take shot today.

It's been raining nearly every day since spring here in Vermont.  Gunter Grass once wrote a poem about how green Vermont is,  but this year the green is greener yet.

Fons I like this (Post #177).  It almost makes the subject into a green hovering object suspended above the pond.  Nice effect.

Thank you Hugh.

#176 is impressive.  The image is pleasantly deceptive.
