Can an elephant hang from a cliff with his tail tied to a daisy? Does that statement evoke whimsical visions of a fanciful image? For me the mere mention of a certain word or a particular set of words all strung together can stir my emotions along with my imagination.
Even simple things like the names we have given to colors bring sights and sounds into clear view... I feel that most colors evoke emotions, some shout their presence, while others whisper and giggle to make you aware of themselves...
The color green is an especially tantalizing one. Did you know that the human eye is most sensitive to the color green and is able to discern the most shades of this color.
Green is life, fully and joyously abundant in nature signifying growth, renewal, health and the environment. Green has both a cooling and warming effect.
Green calls to my senses.... What does it look like? Emerald, chartreuse, forest, kelly, olive and pea!
What does it taste like? Key limes, Lima beans, lettuce and jello!
It smells like eucalyptus, pine, fresh grass, clean...
It sounds like Kermit, and it sounds extremely crunchy!
What does green feel like? Jealousy, envy, something newer and better as in pastures... it is safety, balance, harmony and stability. Green is honor, fertility, hope, virtue and beauty. It is an ecological movement, it is kinky and kooky and completely magical, it is Paradise!

A warm and cool color!? Cool. My brain must think "food" when I see green shades because your photos made me hungry! Everything here is so dry and brown, the pictures of lush green things was really enjoyable! Have a great week.

What an intriguing homage to 'green'...thank you...I remember reading some research that said people were more likely to read a green piece of paper than one of any other color...it's obviously an inate instinct in us...
Green...my most favourite colour of all as it 'does' so much. Stunning photos as always. I am a bit of a colour fan and have books on colour that my husband always takes the micky out of as to him they are merely squares of colours on pages lol.
I watched an amazing programme the other day on BBC TV about how we all see colour in different ways. A blind artist also gave her thoughts on how she perceived colours.

if that link doesnt work the programme was called 'Do you see what I see?' on BBC2..there are 22 days left to view it on iplayer
Really well worth a look Sandra if you get a moment. Let me know what you think if you do watch it. I loved it. Very much a food for thought programme.
Green is my favorite color! Green to me means rebirth, healing and beginnings. Gorgeous pics!
