Shades of Green

As spring turns to summer I like to notice the trees and grass. They change from the limey lemony green of spring to the richer tones of summer. This year, however, I am busy thinking about spring versus summer versus fall tones as I consider colors for our new house. Would you rather live in one specific season of color tones? I usually equate pastel colors to the spring, however there are richer colors of spring as well. The bright green of the new leaves on the trees, the yellow of daffodils and the rich reds that the tulips bring. The only tree I can see from my office window that refuses to bend its colors with the seasons is the white pine. He stubbornly stays a bluish green from spring through winter and back again. He refuses to give up his needles and stands firm in his color as the rest of the trees go from white and pink flowers in the spring to the yellow green buds and leaves that promise the deep green of summer. From summer's green they give way to yellows and browns of fall and the barren branches of winter.

Also, when I searched shades of green I found this site that has nothing to do with trees!
