Green Image Search

Tonight I could not easily come up with a blog idea, so decided to do another color image search. My previous posts in this series are Blue Image Search, Red Image Search and Yellow Image Search.

For these posts I simply pick a color and search my blog images to see what I come up with.

I am now going to click on Add Media and then type ‘green’ in the search field.

What ‘green’ images will I find?

They may not end up being green in color.

Green Building - Coin, Iowa - 1956 - Building TechniquesThis image is interesting. I used it in a post titled Green Building in 1956?

If the picture had been in color, you would have seen some green. Today when we think about green building we think about a home that is built with the environment in mind.

Anne of Green Gables - Paperback books - Anne Series - L. M. MontgomeryThe image search also brought up a picture of a set of Anne of Green Gables books. This is one of my favorite series of books.

Green Tree Python, Toronto Zoo, Toronto Canada, Tree Snake. Snake closeupI also found an image of a green tree snake. This picture was used in a post titled Things in Trees.

Green Snail, Tea, Biluochan, Suzho, ChinaOf course, a picture of green tea also came up. These are Green Snail tea leaves which is also known as biluochan tea.

This tea is from the Suzhou, China region. There is an interesting story behind this tea. For more visit my post Suzhou Tea

Back Yard Mowed, Summer Yard WorkOf course the green image search also brought up pictures of my backyard. For most of the year I have nice green grass in my yard.

I hope you enjoyed these ‘green’ images.

Wiped Out Wednesday

Tonight I am totally wiped out. The combination of jet lag and a busy week have left me very tired.

Nap Time, Nebraska Sweatshirt, Relaxing at Grandma'sI was really tired in the afternoon, but luckily during the drive home I was not too tired. However, once I got home I was wiped out.

Baseball - Oakland A's - Baseball Stadium - Summer Pasttime - America's Favorite SportI had turned on the baseball game and picked up a book I am almost done with and fell asleep during the exciting parts of both.

I got up and did a few things and sat down again, I was soon napping again.

Dad Sleeping, Grandma's House, Sunday Nap, RelaxingOf course I learned to nap from the best. My Dad is good at taking naps. This picture was taken at my grandparent’s house when they lived east of Hamburg, Iowa. You may have noticed that the first picture in the post shows me in the same chair.

These pictures bring back so many memories of that house and visiting my grandparents.

Grandpa and Grandma - Ancestors - Older couple - White Beard - Old GlassesNow my mind is wandering again as I think of my grandparents. They have especially been in my thoughts the last few weeks as I have seen so much about the flooding that has wiped out a large portion of Hamburg.

See: Thinking of Hamburg, Iowa

NASA Earth Observatory, Hamburg, Iowa, Flood, 2011The flooding this year was much worse than the flood of 2011 which is pictured here. The flood waters at the greatest extent this year covered more than half the town. There is also continued danger of flooding as the spring snow melt has just begun further up river.

Now to get some sleep. Hopefully I will sleep well tonight.
