Emerald Star

"Green" is the inspiration for this week's Take A Word challenge. The hills around my home are indeed turning green after tons of rain this winter and it is a welcome sight. Signs of Spring always bring enchantment and faery lore to the surface for me and this collage represents the magical elements in the deep woods and ponds at this time of year.

    This is indeed enchanting, Lori. The emerald color speaks to me on many levels and fairies...well, I'm always attuned to those! It's absolutely gorgeous. Perfect timing for a little of Spring's magic...

    This is stunning and green is the word, it is beautiful like the hills around us. I live in your area of the country Martinez and can appreciate what the rains bring us each spring.
