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!

I love your photos! The Quinault Rain Forest, I have never seen before, superb and calming presentation. Thank you, Susanne.
Thank you so much! We LOVE visiting the rain forest! 🙂
A gorgeous gallery, Susanne. I love the view of the waterfall and all the greens you’ve chosen, especially the cats’ eyes…stunning!
Thanks so much, Cathy! The Evergreen State always delivers the best greens! As do my favorite felines! 🙂
Beautiful greens 🍃💚🐾 (🥰those cats eyes!!)
Thank you! My handsome boys have the best green eyes! 🙂
Ooh, what a lovely idea to focus on a colour! We have limited green in the garden at the moment, and photographing Louis Catorze in it is impossible because, instead of posing, he runs to the person with the camera, chirping and trilling.
Thank you! I agree, it’s always challenging to get a photo of the cats! Benji does the same thing, once he sees me focusing on him with the camera, he runs towards me, often ruining the shot. We do what we can! 🙂 🙂
Wow, Susanne, what gorgeous green views, especially of the Hoh Forest! Love that jade cup too. But Tiger’s green eyes stole the show. Amazing he is 18 yrs old! Thank you for co-hosting with Cathy this month.
I actually have some green desert plants for the Flower Hour this Tuesday and I’ll link to Sunday Stills! 🍀🤣🤣
Thanks, Terri! I LOVE the rain forest too! And have always been impressed with Tiger’s beautiful green eyes! They won us over years ago. 🙂 I hope you’re enjoying your road trip and can’t wait to see your adventures captured in photos!
Our road trip is going great. We’re driving now from Tucson to San Diego to spend two weeks in California. My neighbor sent me pics of the snow in our 9 Mile neighborhood earlier this week. My Ring camera shows snow on our backyard deck. Crazy weather. Enjoy your Sunday and have fun reading all the SS posts! Color challenges are popular 🍀
Thanks, Terri! We were totally surprised by the snow!!
Love that mug. Something of a collectors item I should think. Love the rain forest photos too. So many greens to see there. Here’s mine this week: https://grahamsisland.com/2026/03/15/greenery/
I love the jadeite mug, too. They are indeed collectible! I love seeing your greens from Hawaii!
Hi Susanne, I will be sharing my link for Terri’s Monthly Challenge through a pingback to your post, but it doesn’t publish until 11:00 p.m. You do have a variety of green here and certainly nature has its share of green hues – I especially like the moss! I remember that glassware from the 50s and seem to remember our family having mugs in a peachy shade, if memory serves me right. You can’t beat the intense gaze from Tiger and Benji’s eyes.
Thanks so much for dropping by! 😊
