The Green Glow
I walked out to the bluff today, and it was astounding!
The weather has been warm and mild, no snow, and the day was overcast and foggy, almost misty.
As I stood on the bluff, I noticed that I was surrounded by a green glow in the air. All the mosses, ferns, and lichens were growing luxuriantly and obviously enjoying the weather.
They are everywhere on the rock and the tall pines and oaks around the bluff. The towering white pines were also bright green and formed a sort of green room around me and this combined with the green of the mosses, ferns and lichens and their breath, and the fog, the air was literally green. The air felt very rich in oxygen and just sort of rich altogether. I was transfixed by the green glow.
Like so many things here, hard to describe, but you know it was cool. You gotta come see this for yourself!
