Green Upchuck
“Upchuck.” How poetic. The green life-forms in the above photo are both floating and rooted vegetation from the banks of the St. John’s River. It’s a bit ironic how we identify nature with that color. The green earth. But, in a way, nature doesn’t like green all that much (to engage in a brief bout of personification). Why? You might say that green is the frequency of light least absorbed. Plants reflect it away. Which isn’t quite the same as “upchucking,” but not nearly as fun to write.
