Then you must love Ireland with its ‘forty shades of green’.
Mind we used to say they still had forty over there as they were all over here walking or digging ours up. But of the few places I have visited, Ireland was the place for green.
My grandmother and mother were both very superstitious about green and so I was brought up thinking it was unlucky. Fortunately, by the time I left school I had grown out of such silliness and I love different shades of green now.
You have captured the many shades of green in a most breath-taking way. It is a wonderful photograph. Wow, to be able to say, “I took this while walking in the woods when I was with a friend in Normandy.” sounds so exciting, so wordly, and if I let my imagination flair, almost romantic.
Green is MY favourite colour too! Beautiful photograph of all the different greens!!

Ivy seems go grow everywhere. It is one plant that I can have on my porch and it lives and thrives. Beautiful example of GREEN.

Green is my favorite color too. My living room sofa is green and assessories are green. Second favorite color is yellow.
Beautiful photo!

This green reminds me of my home state–Oregon! Of course, the state’s always green because it drowns in rain each winter…
Beautiful photo, especially with light on the moss.

Beaucoup de profondeur dans ces différents verts; mon photographe de père aurait dit que ta photo est piquée!
