My favorite things: The color green

March 12, 2016 by Beth Shepherd

My favorite color? Green. I’m sure this comes as no surprise. I live in Seattle, the Emerald City. I love gardens and plants. Green is new growth, nature, renewal, freshness, spring. Life! Speak to me in shades of green: chartreuse, fern, olive, moss, mint, sage, lime, pine, shamrock, Kelly. I love green in all its hues.

Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.
~Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Green weeping willow

Shamrocks and fern

Young ferns

Holly leaves

New leaves

Pine needles

It’s all about the journey,

Beth

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
