Shadow: Norfolk Pine

Shadowed Norfolk Pine,
nourished by the sun's own light,
grasping for the heights!

Other shadowy shots can be found here.

A Photo a Day: My Daily Sustenance, Day 213

At left is my Norfolk pine; it resides in my bedroom now.  Below is a photo from 2011 of the same tree. I tried to put the photos side by side so that it would be easier for comparison of growth.  I was afraid that the pine's being in a western window would stunt its growth, but it hasn't!

Shiny green needles,
upward the branches do soar,
lovely Norfolk pine.

Project 64: Green

taken at Tuhey Park

I took this before I started through the intersection, honestly!  

This shot was captured at the local Olive Garden.  I was being treated to lunch by my best friend/daughter-in-law Margaret Ann.

My Norfolk pine was a tiny potted plant when I first  brought her home.  Now I have had to trim her so that there is room to walk past her.

In my home, especially during this season, it was as easy to find green as it was to find red in July.  To me, green and blue are soothing nature colors.  Now to choose my entry...Tuhey Park!

Catch-up Day on Project 64

I wasn't aware of Project 64 right away; I'm so glad I found it somewhere along the way!  It's helping me to view the world through my lens and I'm infatuated with what I'm seeing.
Here are the two colors I had missed entering.

carnation pink: my pajamas

yellow-green: new growth on my Norfolk pine

Here's my original shot of the Norfolk pine (which I've babied and nourished since it was not much more than a stick in a pot.); then I took another shot filling the frame as suggested for this week's entry.
