Fact: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel plants. The light energy that plants capture is called visible light. The white light that shines on the earth is composed of many different colors. Photosynthesis captures visible light but does not use all the colors equally but mostly uses blue and red parts of the spectrum. Plants are green because chlorophyll reflects green light.

Lovely post, green is also restful
Ah it is that as well. Nothing like putting a blanket down in the grass under an old big tree.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the color green.
Thank you for reading!!
U R welcome.
I like the picture of that Fiat that you captured.
Thanks Andrew, its a great little car. 5 speed, quick for its size, and gets wonderful gas mileage.
Great post…green is a good color!
I like to see green when I look outside, its so pretty.
Great stuff, Kim! I’d heard that before about Santa Claus – and I used to think he’d been red for centuries. Isn’t it funny that green cars are considered unlucky in races, what with the colour being so positive, and associated with go.
“Fact: Traffic lights are green in all countries.” Hmm, we have red ones here as well, and even some amber 😉
Me too, my grandmother had an old Santa she used to set out, as a kid I didnt like it because he wore a green dress, not red pants boots and fur lined coat. About the green race cars, right now it seems to be a mix of half believing this and half not paying attention. lol on the traffic lights being green, I am so glad you have the yellow and red too. giggles.
The only green that I do not like is the mocking phrase in my country “His eyes are green when looking at money!”, while your “Go Green” is so cool!
I have never heard of that saying. money means greed, the point is clear. Go green is a good idea. I do what I can in that regard.
Yes, you did very well!
Kim is very nice written, but it does not matter but it is a verb or noun – very nice pictures-thanks
Thank you Lado!
Lovely post as well as photographs!
Thank you Nina!
I always thought green was an adjective rather than a noun!
It can be used as a noun, verb or adjective. If something “is” it’s probably a noun. Green is my favorite color. ” ‘Green’ is receiving the action from the verb, ‘is”. Now if you were to say “Greenish blue is my favorite color,” blue would be the noun, with greenish as an adjective. The color “blue” is still being used as the subject and the noun there. If that makes sense.
If the word receives the action, and it isn’t modifying or stepping in for another word, chances are that what you are dealing with is a noun.
We have to agree to differ here! A colour is always an adjective, unless you are using the word in another sense, such as a golf green. When you say that blue is your favourite colour, you are implying that you like blue things, blue skies, etc, even if you do not mention these by name.
Grammar wasn’t my strong suit, so you could be right. I hope you enjoyed the pretty pictures.
The green rocks! Everything goes with green! In nature that is!
lol true, there is a second part of this,,in moderation.
Wonderful post and great content 🙂

This is a blog full of viridescence…Go for gold? Nope, it should be go for green…nice blog…you nailed it today..
No doubt, I agree. I appreciate the compliment!
This is my favorite color. He gives me peace of mind. Maybe because the city I was born in is in the mountains. There, always in winter, everything is green.
Stands to reason then. I love the mountains, and the pine trees here. The smell is fabulous.
Lovely photos and some interesting new facts. Thanks for giving us a peak into your life 🙂
You’re so beautiful!
