TP 289 - Going green

"Everything's gone green" is Carmi's theme this week at Written.Inc

I hope my winter-weary northern hemisphere friends will get some greenery soon!

Here's some green from me:

Green-world dragon


White dots on a green hill

With Anzac Day fast approaching, we'll all be wearing poppies:

Pamukkale, Turkey
New Zealand/Australian cemetery, Anzac Cove, Gallipoli



From last spring:

Willow trees in spring finery

Wall of an abandoned mine

    1. There were lots of frogs, thunder, judging by all of the little splashes and plops when I came along the path!

  2. I can't wait to see some green outside my window. Great photos and I like the quotes. It would be so easy to convince my husband to eat veggies if they did smell as good as bacon!

    1. Thanks. I don't eat much meat, but I can't resist the smell of bacon! It's an honorary vegetable, I think...

  4. Oh my if we hunger, (which most of do, it's been a long cold and extremely white winter) your photos here describe beauty in so many walks. Your white dots, are so grand to see wandering about, what a lovely cemetery as well. My favorite is the dragon and seeing a fountain with running water, yes! Thank you for this lovely morning visit!

  5. Oops, I forgot to mention, that last photo of mine was taken in Mexico. My daughter, Cierra and her hubby are there right now. I haven't been to Mexico since I was a little girl, and where we were was nothing like that!

    1. It was beautiful. My only visit to Mexico was to places nothing like that!

  6. I love that picture of the sheep on the hillside. Just the sort of country I love! Used to do a lot of walking in that sort of rocky place! Hope you get some spring greenery before too long - though hopefully your winter won't be as long as ours was!

  8. I just love your photos. You remind me of our trip to Gallipoli a few years ago - it was a day just like the one in your photo.

    1. Thank you. I loved that part of my trip to Turkey - Gallipoli certainly has a special meaning for us, doesn't it?

      (Come to think of it, I loved pretty much everything about Turkey...)
