A couple of weeks ago I was walking down the boardwalk exiting the Naples Botanical Garden, taking in all the tropical vegetation growing on both sides. I’m always looking for a photo image, but usually this vegetation is too busy, too messy for a two-dimensional image. On this day, about six feet from the door, I stopped in my tracks.
A leaf had just unfurled that was so green, so shiny, and so BIG, that I had to take off my lens cover and beg my camera to take just a few more photos. Yup, it really was this green and this shiny – obviously Mother Nature thinks it is easy being really, really green.
Thanks, Michele – of The Daily Post fame – for giving a good context in which to post this photo. Her prompt is “It IS Easy Being Green.”

Love the detail and sheen on that leaf! So nice to see some green as it’s still pretty brown, gray and white around here.

We will be heading north in a couple of weeks and it is somewhat of a shock to have to wait to see green again.

This is beautiful. I love photographs like this. There’s a meditative sense about them and a sense of gratitude for small things. Lovely!

It caught my eye – and by the next week it had lost its shine.
