It Ain't Easy Being Green

Posted Wed May 17, 2006 in Photography

This week’s topic for the Brookston.org Photo Scavenger Hunt is It Ain’t Easy Being Green. Yeah, a thowback to The Muppets days. I have to say mea culpa because I was the one who came up with the name, although the assignment is all Brookston’s!

My image is from my archive so I’ll lose a point. I’m just not having much luck getting out and about this week and want to ensure I have an entry. How cheesy would it to be for me to have generated the topic and then not play?

My image is a self-portrait, my shadow cast on the emergent water foliage on the Lake Wallisville Bird Rookery. I spent a few minutes there on my way to Beaumont from Houston a couple of weeks ago. The air was cool over the lake and it was a peaceful place. I enjoyed the respite of a few moments away from I-10.
