2025 OWS: 03.08 — Green (Seen from Trails)

Hiking along the Riverlink Greenway Trail at Goat Island Park and Greenway we tree y to observe everything around us. The objects along our foot path regardless of whether they are on the trail or along the side of its side.

The sun bounces off the leaves differs slightly from one spot to another giving interesting contrasts that seem to stand out calling you to take a closer look.

The glistening rays reflect varying shades of green in the river below. What captured my attention, at first, were the broken tree branches strewn across the waters of the South Fork Catawba River. The water reflections were an added bonus.

Skipping down the road to another Greenway in town; (also apart of the Carolina Thread Trail) the Riverside Park and Greenwaywe encounter interesting plants and trees along the trail pathway.

Taxodium distichum Seed Pods
(baldcypress, bald-cypress,
bald cypress, swamp cypress)

I found these seed pods fascinating. I was not sure what they were when I first saw them, but they stood out and begged for me to capture them. Looking them up, I discovered these are Bald Cypress seed pods. The Bald Cypress trees are native to the Southeastern United States of America.

#Wordprompt: Green

Green Flag shirt: The Green is used for Mental Health Awareness. It is a symbol for mental illnesses, bipolar disorder, and depression. Green symbolizes the continual awareness of mental health in order to help fight the stigma that is too often associated with it.

Green trees 🌲 and green grass meadows in nature. The color green is the color of nature, growth, freshness, energy, and fertility.

Spiritually green carries the vibration of growth, new beginnings, health, renewal, harmony, hope, and peace.

Psychologically green evokes reactions which affect our moods and emotions. Green is also described as refreshing and tranquil. The color green can positively affect our thinking 🤔, our relationships, and our physical health. It is also believed to relieve stress and help us heal.

Although the color green can represent many things, I prefer to look 👀 on the positive aspects of the color green. One of my favorites is that it brings awareness to mental health issues. Mental health is a real concern and it’s issues among people around the world seems to have increased with the various circumstances that surrounds Covid-19 and its sub variants.

Mental health issues are not always visible so beware of your words and actions. Unkind words or actions might have extreme affects on someone else. Always be kind and loving, be calm and peaceful. Show God’s love ❤️ to all those around you.

” But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.”

Psalm 52:8

“He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.”

Psalm 23:2
