Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: Saving Daylight with #Green

—

, ,

Early this morning in the US, we turned our clocks forward to save daylight. Is anyone else moving to “Daylight Saving Time”? I hate losing that extra hour and might be a little grouchy the next few days.

Nothing that a walk in the forest can’t cure…

I’m green with envy at the US states that don’t change their clocks around to adjust for daylight.

Arizona is one state that stays on standard time all year round…

…as does Hawaii.

As we get closer to the spring Equinox, the morning sunlight shows off the green decor I have around the house.

Around here nothing shouts spring more than our very own, Nine Mile Falls.

    Hi Terri, we don’t put our clocks forward in the UK until the last Sunday in March, so this year they go forward at 1am on 31st March. That’s Easter Sunday, so I’m hoping the Easter Bunny knows he has one less hour to deliver chocolate eggs in the UK.

    Also, I was once taught a trick on how to not miss that extra hour of sleep. So now we put the clocks in our house forward at 3pm on the day before they go forward, hence when we go to bed, we think it’s already late.

    You’ve captured some great photos’ especially the one of the forest. I like walking in the forest too. Given that I live in the wettest city in the UK, we always have a lot of green on offer.

      Thanks, Hugh! We have a lot of forest views to share! Funny, my wall calendar shows the UK DST on Easter Sunday, as well as other UK/CAN holidays–I thought it was a locally-generated calendar–helpful though!

      Thanks for the time trick, I’ve tried everything, my temperament is too related to time and details, so I suffer a few days. The US used to wait until around then to change the clocks about 15 years ago. As far north as we live now, changing the clocks earlier just makes it darker longer in the mornings. And daylight here goes til after 10 pm! Thanks for adding your pic to Sunday Stills! I love all that green!

        Yes, the sun does not set until around 21:37 on the longest day where I live Terri. And on the flip side, the sun does not rise until 08:19 on the shortest day (sets at 15:51).

    We changed our clocks as well. British Columbia’s current government has been waiting for Washington State, Oregon, and CA to adopt a single year-round time before we do the same. Sharing the same time zone doesn’t seem like a good enough reason to wait, but there you go.

    Terri,

    Great topic for this time of the year! We’re greening up nicely in East Tennessee, but the wildflowers have not yet arrived. Daylight Saving Time is always tough. We stayed up late Saturday night to watch “Oppenheimer” before the Academy Awards and I sat through church service on Sunday trying to keep at least one eye open, LOL. My green contribution is from a recent hike. Moss is always green. Thanks, and have a great week! Joe

I’m surprised you don’t like it. OK, we lose an hour, but we get in back in October 🙂 And meanwhile we have lovely long light evenings to enjoy 🌞

    There’s something so cheerful (maybe even hopeful) about the colour green. Thoughts of green trees and spring abound!

    That trail above the John Muir quote looks very inviting Terri – so does all the greenery. And that hummingbird with the green background is so inquisitive looking. We’ve got a while to go for that much greenery here, especially after our snow this morning. It’s “magical snow” – just around long enough to cause a ton of accidents, then quietly exits. I wished we’d have left the time as is – I have to walk later again in the morning for a while now. That’s a cute frog and Kermit was always clever, including strumming his banjo and singing “The Rainbow Connection”.

    Here is my post with some green in it, in an unlikely spot:

    Changing to DST is tough on the body … I’m thinking about 2 weeks to adjust. Then again, we don’t seem to clamor as much when it goes the other way. Oh well … I enjoyed the wide variety of your green photos.

    It’s weird having the clocks change, and not, within the same country, isn’t it, huge though it is? Ours don’t change here till the end of this month and I always hate losing that hour too. But we do have heaps of green around.

      I remember when “they” lengthened to daylight saving time in the US to closer to when yours is, Jo. I remember as a kid in San Diego, that daylight saving time began around Easter (usually mid April). Why they made it earlier is part of the problem with this whole subject. Now it will take me weeks to adjust.

    How lucky I don’t deal with time change. We’ve always stayed the same where I live. No drastic adjustments. As to green… well it would be drastic if we had green in March which is full of beautiful white snow and blue skies. I was sure that frog was real! Love the photo of the falls.

    Lovely greens, Terri! Alaska changed its clocks today, too. Pretty ridiculous, because we are gaining over 5 minutes of light a day, so we’ll have overtaken this change within 2 weeks anyway. There are petitions to end the change every year…I still don’t know why we are still doing it!

      thank you, Cathy! This time change to daylight saving is ridiculous especially if some US states don’t follow suit. If WA stayed on standard time, it wouldn’t be too bad because, like you, we get three minutes a day of light that catches us up. I’m used to the dark winter mornings. I read that some states want to go to year round daylight saving time which ends up making it too dark in the am for kids going to school. Standard time year round is better for all of us IMHO!

        Agreed! In the winter here, kids go to and come home from school in the dark regardless of standard or savings time. But I prefer more light in the morning, so I’m all in favor of staying in standard time! 😉

      Thanks so much for your kind comments, Shelley! Sometimes the falls look brownish, but when full like this from snowmelt, the river is so full it must pick up the green from the trees. Even the water is greenish at the bottom.
      That was a good idea to practice waking up, to get used to the time change but it doesn’t seem to work for me. My brain still know the “real” or former time for weeks. Even my dog is confused when he thinks he’s ready for dinner 🙂 We added an hour of sunlight to the evening but its dark in the am for a couple of weeks. Sigh.
