A Gallery of Green for Sunday Stills

I’m happy to be hosting Sunday Stills this week for the Color Challenge: Jade Green, Light Green, Peridot.

My feature photo is a Fire King mug in Jadeite, collectible glassware from the 1950’s.

I love the shape and the color of the coffee cup, which holds a mere 6 ounces, long before the world supersized.

But the best greens are found in nature. The gallery below includes an assortment of greens from my home state of Washington, aptly named the Evergreen State.

The picture below is from Hoh Rain Forest, a popular attraction in Olympic National Park.

But the Quinault Rain Forest, is just as beautiful, smaller and more intimate.

And I can’t forget the prettiest green eyes you’ve ever seen. It was Tiger’s soulful eyes that won us over many years ago. He’d been dropped off at a cat hotel when his owner no longer wanted him. He was 5 years old at the time and is now the ripe old age of 18. We picked Benji out from the other cats at Seattle Humane almost 10 years ago. He was still a kitten and won us over with his spunk!

Now it’s your turn – show me your green and don’t be daunted – any shade will do! Tag your post ‘Sunday Stills’ and feel free to link to this one. 🙂

I’ll be hosting Sunday Stills again next week and Cathy from Between the Lines will host the week after. Terri will be back in April!
