I just talked to my son who lives where we will be going back to in a couple of weeks. He said it is still winter in Michigan – not even any fresh green on the shrubs on the forest’s floor. I think I will have to use my winter of Florida colors for this one.
I sure did enjoy your colors – especially the green section. 🙂
Thanks, Pat!
We actually had snow here for two days this week. Very unusual! Spring is always unpredictable. 😉
Yuck. I think I’ll focus on enjoying the south as long as I can.
Thanks for these vibrant colors!
My pleasure! 🙂
Priscilla, an excellent choice of nature’s expressive colors. Beautiful flowers and sunsets, and forests.
Thanks, Anne! I appreciate your challenge and your hospitality for the group. 🙂
Well done! Great quotes to go along with your colorful photographs!
Thanks, Marlene. I am glad I found colorful verbal expressions as well!
What glorious colour and a few fun ones thrown in.
Thanks, VJ!
Your post reminds me of the phrase “an embarrassment of riches Priscilla! So many amazing images of marvelous colors – fabulous. A lovely nod for Earth Day as well.
Thanks, Tina! (I’ll try not to be embarrassed, just grateful. 😉 )
Great set. Specially liked the man sleeping in the field. I wouldn’t mind doing that
Thanks! That’s actually a man sleeping at a campground near the Sturgeon River Gorge, too tired to put up the tent just yet. 😉
Nice portrait of the deer on the hillside!
Thank you! I think that was in Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota. Just a gorgeous day in late spring to be a deer in the woods.
