Searching for Roy G Biv III: Green Update #5


It's the third Thursday of the month and time to search for this month's color-- GREEN.


I had some wonderful helpers this month. My nieces and nephew turned the search into a treasure hunt...scouring my Mom's house for GREEN items. We got a bit imaginative, even attempting to take a photo through a kaleidoscope!


I hope that you'll join in the fun. Post up to five GREEN photos on your blog and leave a comment here or on Jennifer's blog so we can link back to your post. I'll be updating through Saturday.



 Be sure to check out Jennifer's blog post for more GREEN wonders.

Margaret at Charlton Stitcher has organic GREEN lines this month.
Lisa at arzigogolare has Florentine GREENS...love the gelato in mid-drip and the ever-changing Arno.

  2. It was so fun to see them searching about and coming up with ideas for photographing green. Too many photos to show all of them here. Thanks for sharing your luscious spring greens, Sharmon.

  3. Hi Julie - my natural greens are over on my blog - so amazingly easy this time as the countryside has good green mad. I don't ever remember it being so lush before ... though I probably say that every year!
    Love the results of your treasure hunt - especially those first two. What fun you must have had with your family.

    1. Hi Margaret- Enjoyed your selection of green and linear marks. Have you read Helen Parrott's book yet on Mark Making? If not, I think it would be a book you'd enjoy reading.

    2. Thanks for the thought, Julie. I have indeed read Helen's book - and you're so right, I did enjoy it very much - lots in there for me.
