I like to share things about plants, gardens and landscape. Things that can enliven and inspire.

But this set of photos is only about sharing perception in what I think of as teaching.

Every day I have mountains in my face. These photos how some of them. In particular, these photos tell a story that is quite visually apparent in early spring.

Here are the stories or rather the lessons learned:

1. Spring comes earlier at lower elevations than higher elevations.
2. Higher elevations have conifer only forests. Lower elevations have deciduous only forests. The two forest types merge in the middle elevations.
3. And the last image is a close up of the glorious electric lime green at this stage of spring growth.

Notice the green grasses in the lower elevations. Compare it to the brown yellow grasses at the higher elevations.

Darker green forest trees are conifers. Spring green forests are deciduous.
