@lynbonn challenged me this week to "show us why Seattle is the Emerald City". I could take some pictures of our pristine evergreen trees, or focus on the rain that waters a lot of our vegetation keeping it green all winter long, but instead I'll reveal to the world what really makes Seattle the Emerald City. It's the green slime. Anyone from Seattle will recognize this thin, slimy layer of green that grows anywhere you let it. It turns blue houses green. It causes you to lose your step when you slip on it. It keeps the folks at Brown Bear Carwash busy through the dark months. It stains the pants of anyone daring enough to sit on lawn furniture in the off season. It is the green slime that gives Seattle its Emerald glow.
Ha! I did not expect that. I lived up there for a couple of years. Yes, this is everywhere. People would throw snowball-sized clumps of baking soda on their roofs to keep the slime at bay. Well done!
My apologies! We are get-pushed partners for the upcoming week. This is a bit late, but I see you had a previous challenge you did not have a chance to try. If it's alright, I will reissue your challenge to take a bokeh Christmas image. If you'd prefer a different challenge, just let me know and I'll set another.
Oh! I just saw they set the new macro challenge as Christmas bokeh. You could double-tag it!
