a late afternoon walk 8

lately i have been thinking about color.  how we perceive color.  a favorite blipper of mine cannot get enough pigment in his photos.  i love their exuberance.  i, on the other hand, see shades of grey as significant color.  i went through my posted blips in both journals.  out of 397 blips, 27 have been converted to black and white.  the rest are in color.  (obviously, i didn't get the memo for mono monday!)  still, i believe many would probably recognize my blips as being in black and white.  (yesterday's blip - would you guess it's in color?)

today i headed once again up the stream trail, this time determined to find some distinct (non-grey) color.  it was overcast and drizzling which didn't help matters.  i stopped at hints of lichen, birch bark, moss.  there was no sunlight to make anything sparkle.  i finally decided on this grouping of lichen and moss.  i liked the mingling of the many greens.  perhaps green is the new grey.
