Tropical Autumn? Color it Green
A visit to Villa Flores
It isn’t easy being green in November in the upper Northern Hemisphere in autumn (unless it is a conifer or other evergreen, that is!) It is either a splash of brilliant colors or burnt umber, ocher, dark grey, or white.
I have just returned from a few weeks in the north, and my eyes are glorying at the lush green around my tropical island home. I was in a dark mood today, Nov. 6, 2024, so I wandered the property with my camera and brightened my life.
Things looked good on the north terrace, with greens lined up along the east side. I stopped there and lazed in the hammock while a light shower passed and the sun came out. It was a pattern to continue in Puerto Rico all day — my favorite weather for nature photography.
I love the way the light creates so many shades of green and how the raindrops make the leaves glisten.
