Sunday Stills Monthly Colour Challenge: Saving Daylight with #Green

Continuing the series looking back into the folders to find some gems from the past. This gallery of green is from 2014 to 2017

A VW Beetle and a fish eye lens is always amusing

Very old green goblets

Just a leaf on a verandah

A green beetle in scurry mode

Oh, I forgot to tell you that a beautiful harmless Green Tree Snake is next

To make up for that, here’s a Small Green-banded Blue Butterfly

Green Catbirds are striking birds

The first and only time I have seen such luminous green Pitcher Plants

Looking under Cunjevoi plants at a creek

A tiny green car in Dijon and selective colour

A fern I have on my place, Five Fingered Jack or Rough Maidenhair Fern, pops up everywhere. I thought was a native but they are found worldwide.

I love the way this moss cascades down the log

Thank you for visiting

CWWC: Which ways with the colour green

“Which way did he go?”

“He went that way, real fast!”

“Who me?”

“Don’t scare me like that”

“You guys crack me up”

Maybe they went down to Green River with Creedence Clearwater Revival

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Greenish

This selection of photos range from 2014 to 2017. Perhaps you may have seen the before. Some are favourites I re-do for challenges and some you may have not seen before.

Yes there maybe a snake involved so perhaps I’ll make it into a slideshow so those who find nature not to there liking can skip past.

1 A Green-banded Line Blue Butterfly
2 Just a stack of bottles in a restaurant
3 There’s your Green Tree Snake
4 King Parrot feathers
5 A Green Tree Frog
6 Reflections on water. One of these started my interest in doing water reflection abstracts

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #149: Cool Colours – Blue and Green

Let’s start with some blues

and now for a few greens

The snake and the fence

Published on March 9, 2021December 3, 2023 by bushboy44 Comments

OK. I reckon you would have guessed by the heading that there may be a photo of a snake in this post.

I do thank you for your bravery in opening the post those of you who do want to see but don’t want to see.

A bit of an idea of what you will encounter if you do travel further into my world.

Green Tree Snakes have no fangs and no venom. They are very reluctant to bite but if provoked it will rise up, inflate its throat and body, and make a stink from its anal glands – so best not to get too close.
Snake skin is not slimy. It is dry and is made up of keratin.
They are thin and about 1 to 1.5 meters long.

The one you are about to encounter I found on a neighbours fence as I was driving home. As the Green Tree Snake was on a barbed wire fence it is good to check to make sure they are OK and not hooked up on the barbs.

“Excuse me, do you need a hand over there on that barbed wire fence?”

“Who? Me?”

“Nah mate, she’ll be right. I best be off.”

“OK then, maybe I’ll see over at my place. The coming cooler weather has made the mice think it’s time to set up house somewhere warm, where there’s snacks. My pantry would be a good place to hang out for a few days if you’re headed my way.”

You can see the size of this harmless little fellow compared to the gauge of the fencing wire which is 8 gauge. Sorry I don’t know what they call that size now-a-days. Thanks for getting to the end even if fast scrolling was involved.

A lot of S’s
