Green Season in the Highlands

The highlands are green. In the wooded wilderness, the blue-greens haven't yet overwhelmed the yellow-green underbrush. The sun still penetrates deeply to the bright, carpeted forest floor.

Very, very green!! When is Saint Patrick's Day? The farms are preparing to plant vegetables, and the pastures are...really...really...green.


By midsummer, the greens will be bluer, or maybe grayer. Right now, the green is very, very yellow. The diffused overcast light from last weekend further reinforced the yellowish green of the verdant pastureland. Interestingly, when you to use Photoshop to make your greens look...well...greener, don't touch the green sliders, touch the yellow sliders. In these shots, nature had already turned yellow up to eleven. I had to use Photoshop to tone-down the yellows because no one would believe that the green was so yellow, and well...just, very, very green.
