Weekly challenge - Selective color? Never! Select a color? Yes! 3/16 - 3/22

Shot on St. Patrick's Day, focusing on greens. All pics here were made with a 1975-era 135mm f/3.5 Ai-series Nikkor manual focus telephoto lens that I had bought about two hours earlier. All shots were made in Portland's Gabriel Park over about a 45 minute time span. Uncropped, D800.

Today's green started with a frosty old shotgun shell on a lichen covered fence, then an up close and personal with JD.

This photo is about green. Ignore the orange.

I'm glad I was able to make this picture this weekend, because it turns out that I have a nasty flu with a bacterial infection and it doesn't look like I can go outside with the camera the next 1 to 2 weeks.
For now, therefore, look for the color red in the house.

These seven shots are from Saturday and Sunday so went with St. Patricks green - seems to have been a popular color - I usually have too much green so I thought I would share some of that.

I had intended to faithfully stay on this week's challenge, but work has been crazy. I notice green more often, just don't get it onto here. A few 'greens' that did make it onto the camera phone at least.

Thank you. Just like almost 3 million Dutch people, I had my annual influenza "cocktail", a free injection that is part of our health care system, but it turned out specialists have not included all influenza types this time, so a lot of extra sick people in the last 4 months.

Take care of yourself. The flu season here in the US has been very bad with more deaths than usual. The vaccine was not very effective this year but from what they have said on the news, even though it didn't prevent the illness it did lessen the symptoms for those who got it. Both my daughter and I had terrible sinus infections that lingered for weeks.

Help, thought we had thrown out this radio a long time ago, but I found it in my wife's hobby room yesterday ... and still working fine!
I think we bought this radio somewhere in the early 1980's
