Green grow the rushes.........and grasses...........and trees..........

If I had to describe Cornwall in colours, I think it would have to be blue and green. Blue for the sea, obviously, and green for pretty much everything else. You can get greens from a Pantone chart or you can go direct to source and get an infinite variety of shades from nature. Here is just a selection from a walk we did last Sunday around North Hill. Better than any old Pantone chart any day.

The Withey Brook at the start of our walk.

A plod up an old green lane onto the eastern fringe of Bodmin Moor.

A quiet country lane down off the moor, dropping down to.....

.....the River Lynher. About 1/4 mile down from where we crossed the Withey Brook. Question: what makes a brook a river?

Not green but a very attractive Little Magpie Moth. Yes, there is a larger version, the Magpie Moth, which looks similar but bigger. This specimen was about 2 cm across.
