a war effort of photosynthesis

5 months of the year it is brown in the north. and 5 months of the year it is green. and in between we get one month of pastel colored spring blossoms, and one month of jewel-toned fall leaves. as we leave may and head into june, things will be pretty much full-on green. yes, there are plenty of flowers, and i will seek them out and post them, but their presence will be tiny in comparison to the flood of green that will threaten to drown the feeble lights of their bright colors. the amount of photosynthesis that is happening in this corner of the globe, at this time, is mind boggling.
