Today is a rainy day. I sit with a view of the north side of the pines and the depths of the woods. I can see the sky through the trees -- the hill crests and drops off, leaving sky to be seen now that the wall of green has faded away.  In the dull directionless light most of the depth of the woods seems dark, but the pines closest to me seem to glow green with lichen growth. I rarely notice the color except on rainy days during winter months.

Earlier today mist filled the woods giving a sudden sense of depth. It's now a flat wall again except for these pines popping out of the gloom.
