What now? You know me and my attempt at writing clever blog post titles. This week’s color challenge is not JUST green, but JADE. See the example.
The example image of colors may help you with future monthly color challenges from March through June.
I do adore the color green and of course with St. Patrick’s Day celebrated on March 17th, Jade seems like a great color to explore this month.
“It is better to live as a broken piece of jade, than to live as a useless piece of clay.” Bruce Lee
Jade is a gemstone with a variety of green hues. I’m going more with the milky-white green depicted in many of the images.
“Jade is part of the green color ray, the most lush and verdant shade of green, a color that reflects growth and vitality. It is also a stone that stands for wealth and longevity.” Jade Meaning
Jade has other meanings besides describing a particular color of green. Oxford Online Dictionary defines JADED as “tired, bored, worn out or lacking enthusiasm, due to age or experience. Also, apathetic or insensitive.
Jade is also a woman’s name. She’s driving the car in the featured image (digitally colored by me, from Color Planet).
The color jade depicts anything in addition to the above definitions. I LOVE any color in the green spectrum. Green in all its hues surrounds us in nature, and I will never get “jaded” or worn out from seeing it.
Nine Mile Falls in its spring glory taken March 8. Just a few days ago, they let the water out of the dam and the water was mostly brown. Between the collected silt pushed through from snowmelt in the mountains, the water is flowing jade green!
Play with the color jade or the word “jaded” in any form and simply have fun. It’s a color challenge we explore once a month so please enjoy!

- Or a walk down memory lane (in 2017) with the former WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge It is Easy Being Green Interestingly, I could see by the thumbnails how many folks are STILL blogging as well as how many are not. Way to hang in there if you are one of those who still are. We’re definitely not JADED.
“In life and art, it’s better to be an enthusiastic amateur than a jaded professional.” Robert Genn
LOL, if anyone reading this is a professional photographer, I assume you are NOT jaded.
A Wee Bit More Green
For Cee’s Flower of the Day and Dawn’s Spring Festival (coming March 24), I present my former hydrangea sporting jade blooms. It was rehomed before we moved away from Sacramento.
Another former sunflower boasts its delicate shades of green as it reaches for the sky.

I can’t get enough green!

Don’t forget to have a taste of a green margarita if you celebrate St Patty’s Day!
“Take life with a grain of salt…a wedge of lime…and a shot of tequila!” Unknown
