The Green of Winter
Several weeks ago, before the snow, Lynn and I were at the Park. We were working on the interior of the cabin. Cleaning, getting ready to paint, moving stuff, etc. I didn’t really have time for anything else.
As I said, it was before the snow and an overcast gloomy kind of day. It was wintry, but no snow. I knew that Lynn had been outside for a period of time but didn’t know what she was up to.
Anyway, as we are getting in the car, ready to leave for the day, Lynn says something to the effect of “I went out to the point this afternoon and”. At that point I cut her off and said “it’s really green!” she said “no kidding, it was amazing, all of the mosses and lichens were just lit up.”
I could picture exactly what she was talking about. In the weeks previous I had noticed that on an overcast day that there is a noticeable difference in the way that the woods looks. At first glance might appear to be all brown and uninviting but after a couple of seconds you notice the green.
As we were going up the driveway we both commented about the “green glow”! We talked about how cool the glow is.
Never mind the weather, there is always something to see at Canyon Park.
