Autumn spring green

This is what I've been looking for: the spring green of new growth out of the charred black stems of proteas and other fynbos bushes. Driving over Ou Kaapse Weg one can see a fine green velvet appearing on the hills over the past month, despite the very light and very seldom rainfall. Sea winds condensing into clouds of mist on the upper slopes of the mountain provide ample moisture, evident in the contrast between the starkly still-sepia toned lower slopes and the spring green that is appearing both from the ground as well as the bushes in the higher areas
Two months on, and the proteas are sprouting from the old bushes

You're an awesome person! Have a funtabulistic week!

I love feedback! Energy flows both ways, so let me know what you think, whether it's positive or constructively critical, both are valuable!
