It’s so difficult to choose just one photo for the Photo of the Day, especially when living in a place that, in my sister’s words “is just so green!” Some of the Indiana locals seem unimpressed with the thriving woodlands right in their backyard. However, each time I walk out my front door I can’t help but gape at the buzzing, living tapestry containing every imaginable shade of Emerald.

I always wondered what happened to the Entwives after the War of the Ring or even if there were any left in Middle Earth, perhaps quietly tending gardens in the Shire. No one knows, but I suspect they found their way to a place like this.
