Greens

As amazing as it is to experience all the pink, wonderful fluffiness of springtime blossom, the next best thing has got to be seeing all those green leaves take over those bleakly stark wintry branches.

Bringing the greenness into the home is always nice too.

Apparently green is the easiest colour for our eyes to look at – it’s slap-bang in the middle of the colour spectrum so maybe that’s why. I wonder if pigs can see green things?

Incidentally – all these photos were taken with my Pentax K1000. I LOVE this camera so much – I think it might my fave ever film camera – I learnt so much about the technicalities of photography through using it. It makes me wonder why I keep messing around with others all the time. I need to show it some love sometime soon – maybe take it on a trip somewhere nice.

    That top picture is so ridiculously perfect and wonderously luminescent. I want it printed for my wall but somehow I don’t think any printing could do it justice. Maybe have it printed on glass and mounted on a lightbox? That might work. Oh if only I had enless money…

      You’re too kind! Nature did most of the hard work here though – I like the idea of printing on glass for a lightbox though…

        I was breaking my piggy bank and counting the pennies, but didn’t have enough. Well, not enough that I could justify spending on old cameras anyhoo.
