The green challenge



Green trunk of a palo verde tree
Palo verde means "green stick"

I decided to photograph shades of green on yesterday's walk because I haven't done anything creative with color lately and because green is my favorite color.  Here's what I found in 20 minutes.


Bright green on a new prickly pear cactus pad


Grey-green on the chunks of cholla cacti, above and next two






Tiny leaves on a mesquite tree

Bright green leaves of lantana


Yucca 

Lady slipper


Desert spoon sotol


Leaves on an orange tree, above, and olive tree below


Have a colorful day

Interesting exercise. Somehow I did not know green was your favorite color. I would have guessed yellow or orange. I was struck by the shading on the yucca plant, such a definite break between light and shade.
