Color Week: Green

April 28th, 2008 by Sallad

I’m participating in Curious Bird’s Color Week - where we take and post photos focusing on a particular color each day of the week. Today is Green. The rain made the colors in my yard look rich and vibrant this weekend. I took my macro lens out in the yard to get some leaf closeups, but when I loaded them onto my computer, I was surprised by what else I captured.

This is a Bleeding Heart leaf. I was photographing the water droplets on it, but when I looked closer, I saw the tiny spider.

Furry branch

I really don’t know what this is called, but it’s the algae, mossy stuff that grows on tree branches in wet, shady areas. I was photographing the long, hairy plant, but then I noticed the little black hairs on the shorter plant.

    Beautiful focus and color on those. LOVE the water drops on the first one (the spider is cute, too!)

    Two kinds of lichen in the 2nd photo. Love the little spider in the 1st - I often find surprise bugs in my flower photos too.

    Nice shot. I have a Bleeding Heart vine with completely different leaves. I’m always amused by how many plants share common names - sowing confusion among us!
