green

i wonder if the challenge purposely chose this prompt for this date. it's green and it's fitting.

not a beautiful morning here in toronto, grey and cloudy, a bit of a contrast to the beautiful summer-like weather we had all week. but the sun's going to appear, so they forecast, in the afternoon and i shall head off somewhere to get a nice sunset hopefully.

to everyone who's irish and even those who aren't, have a nice saint paddy's day.

this is my saint paddy brooch that someone gave to me in the early 90's. i've always worn it every year since then to celebrate st. patrick's day.

cropped only and name tag added.
Great shot! It's so sparkly and cheery. St. Patrick himself is smilin'! We started out very foggy here, but now it's sunny and clear, so I think you'll get your sun as predicted. Have a wonderful time chasing down that sunset!

@olivetreeann - thank you, ann. it's a little bit lighter outside now, and hopefully the sun would show up. maybe i should mosey on down the park and see if the bulbs have grown taller from yesterday. or maybe head down to the beaches again and watch the ducks. or just wherever my runners take me. hope you enjoy your outing tomorrow. enjoy the rest of your weekend.

@summerfield I was typing it and it became foreign to me. I hate that when that happens.

@espyetta - you're too young to have a senior moment like what happens to me every time. or maybe it was the flies! hehehehe!

I'm dazzled by the sparkly green hues here! It's a cute brooch and reminds me of the Monopoly hat token. (I always used that token when I played.) I don't celebrate the holiday but here's wishing you a Happy St Patrick's Day! 8)

@sunnygreenwood - thank you, anne. yes it was fun, i had a ton of photos of random people on the streets wearing ridiculous green stuff on them. everyone i think had a great time, there was a big party downtown and the day and night fog/mist didn't dampen the celebrations.

March 21st, 2012  
@meoprisan - thank you, mihaela. it was a bit tricky to photograph the brooch because it was really small, about the size of my thumb's nail.
