seeing green

I'm not into green really but it may seem so because I'm using it a lot on this site.

I believe green is a good color to stare at for a long time. It's restful and relieves your eyes (if you've been looking at the monitor for hours). Now you may be wondering why I'm writing about this color. You see, I've been seeing green lately :-) Just last week, I was in Butuan City together with my nieces and nephews and their kids. From the plane window, I saw the islands below covered with green canopy. As we reached our destination, green again.

Now I'm back home (second home actually) and every time I look outside from my window, I see trees and lots of green foliage.

I told you, I'm seeing green... literally. Now, who was it that named a color “leaf green”? I wonder if he knew how many tints, tones and shades of green there are to identify just by looking outside my window. From a single twig alone of a particular tree, you'd see at least four different greens. And to think I can see about twenty or so different species, not counting the wild shrubs and grasses below.

Before sounding like I'm complaining, I do have a favorite shade of green: moss green in small amounts (ex. Moss green T-shirt or sweatshirt) It looks velvety and rich.
