I was meant to be green... by northy

I was meant to be green...

Another bleak day... cold, white skies and most of the day spent ferrying the boys around to various incarnations of hockey (houseleague, practice, select games, etc)... the bushes in our driveway were tricked by some warmish weather a week or so ago and some buds bloomed green... now they are turning brown and dying... bleakness...

Thank you for the kind comments on the pink files... off to pick up a kid from hockey practice, then to get pizza... then maybe some time to sit and ponder your photos :)
Love the title and the tag. LOL.

Pretty brown tones that were meant to be green.

This is lovely, and I never would have guessed a shot taken in your driveway! Our weather is much the same, and I haven't even bothered looking for a shot. We are headed to the Polar Express this evening, so I hope to find a good shot there. In the dark. Without a tripod. Ha.

Nicely done. The fade to the fuzzy background is well executed. This could be your "bokeh" entry for the December word challenge? I'd vote for it!

Shame on mother nature to trick them like that. Great dof!
