Green!

Every morning in the bus, we ride past the park. It's mellowed by sunshine and all the trees have now spurted their shoots and buds. After months of trying to decipher shades of pale yellows, silver greys and icy blues, the sight of this enthusiastic green riot is blood-tingling.

Such a reaffirmation of life makes me want to step off the bus right there and skip work for a whole morning. I would lie back on the grass and stare up at the leaves. If I take off my lenses and use the full benefit of being myopic, all I'd see would be a watercolour of greens and yellows, with some skyblue flirting among the rustling leaves.

I look forward to a lazy morning like that...
