Everything is so lush and green in central Massachusetts (pic for proof)

[DS1]

taken the other day

1. Bullshit. Everybody knows there's no forests in Mass.

Just pavement and buildings painted green.



:P

[DS1]

3. damn

I thought it would last at least 8 posts before the jig was up

fucking mainahs

[SeattleGirl]

2. That's becautiful.

Reminds me of western Washington.

[DS1]

4. So I hear

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

5. Beautiful picture...

I love those kind of shots, but I haven't quite gotten the hang of it...

here is one of my more recent attempts:

[DS1]

6. trick

have your camera - if it can - under-expose a full stop. it'll prevent blown out sky, and when you lighten it back up, the colors will come alive

[Haole Girl]

7. Thanks

I always overexpose everything...but I just have one of those auto-adjust-everything cameras, so I'm not sure what setting I could change. If I ever get a real camera again, though, I'll try and remember the tip! :hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

8. Wow. I had no idea that

kudzu had established itself that well in the Bay State.

[Marrah_G]

9. Eastern Mass also

It's looks incredibly tropical.

[DS1]

[MissMillie]

Wow...

I used to work in a small town, Shirley, but would have to, on occasion, travel to different other facilities for training. I remember going to training and having someone introduce us folks from Shirley as being from "the western part of the state...."

:wtf:

[SPKrazy]

10. looks like Arkansas

global warming?

:shrug:

climate change

or is it usually like that

[DS1]

11. lots of rain this year

it's normally very green, just splendidly so this year :)

[SPKrazy]

12. lots of overgrowth

and is that kudzu?

:shrug:

[DS1]

13. where?

[SPKrazy]

14. on the left hand side

down near the ground

it is a dense overgrowth leafy plant

i can't tell what it is

just wondered if you even have kudzu there also

it's rampant around here

:eyes:

[DS1]

16. no, just looked up kudzu, it looks nothing like what I saw there

it's grass, and just very thick foliage. there's a golf course on the other side of that growth on the left, and I suspect they let it go nuts for both privacy and to prevent golf balls from bouncing across the road

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. It's pretty lush and green in Minnesota, too.

[Ptah]

17. The only green here in the desert is my envy.

Wonderful photograph, DS1

[DS1]

[BlondieK143]

[yewberry]

19. Making me homesick for New England!

Damn!

I think that's right near my brother's house in F'ham.

I saw some really good airfares, too...Now I'm homesick *and* scheming!

[DS1]

Facing West, zoom out to see if your friend lives nearby :hi:

[yewberry]

21. Oop. He lives closer to Millwood course.

I think that's north of the Pike.

Dang, thanks for the view. I've been missing New England something awful lately! (And my brother, too!)

[DS1]

22. Then take a trip

before it gets really nasty and humid - so far the summer has been wonderful.

[yewberry]

23. Argh. My term of service isn't up 'til the end of July.

And August...yeek. It can get pretty sticky out there.

Maybe a fall trip...Until then, though, I'll be positively spitting with envy!

[bridgit]

24. i miss the green season already, california is in it's brown season...

and will be thus for months to come :) no wait, better make that :(

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Going home this weekend to Western MA...Can't wait!

We were there last weekend, and damn, I miss my lush and green rural home.

:hi:
