A Thousand Shades of Green
By John W. Vander Velden
I
view the landscape as I walk in the clear morning, the rising sun low beside
me. The grass and weeds marking the road’s
edge, a border to the wide hayfield of tall grass and thick alfalfa, glistening
with dew’s uncountable jewels. In the
distance, trees stand, a wood of ash, beech and maple, damp fresh leaves of
innumerable tints contrast the snowy trunks of the yet bare sycamores. It is spring, the world fresh and
alive…awaken from winter’s sleep.
Beneath the pure blue sky…foliage moved by the gentle touch of the
morning breeze are a thousand shades of green…the colors of the world that
surrounds…Can there be a better description for the colors of spring?
