Nature's Beauty

This is our fourth Spring in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. By now the vegetation has become fairly familiar and is our new "normal." Every once in a while I notice something that hasn't become "ordinary." 
There are so many shades of green in scenes like this - moss covered trees, ferns, evergreens, deciduous trees, and more. This picture was taken in a residential area. It looks like a mini rain forest.  Click here to read about the rain forest on the Olympic Peninsula

Pieris - This is an amazing shrub. It changes colors and textures throughout the growing season. All winter it's green. Small white, bell shaped flowers appear in the Spring. Then come red or pink leaves.
