How Green Is My Forest

Today’s prompt is: The color green. What do you associate with the color green and how does it make you feel?





Green represents Life and the Life-Giving Force. This may sound strange from an individual whose favourite seasons are Winter and Autumn, in which there's not a lot of Green visible. But I find Green soothing. It is the color of Pines, you know, “Evergreens”?  (smile) I'm particularly fond of the darker shades, often termed “Forest Green” or “Hunter Green.” I dislike chartreuse and lime green intensely; I think Green should be more solid and dignified (although life-giving).





I guess if given a choice, I'd choose Forest over Garden. Green leaves or green pine needles in preference to all the colors of a garden. Who knew?
