January 31st: paper
A handmade greeting card with a paper collage of a snowperson wearing a green hat and scarf, and with a red cardinal sitting on its twiggy arm. Its nose is a carrot, of course.

January 30th: nature
Last bit of green before winter. A bright green spruce tree stands in the sun near the rocky shoreline of a pond that has just frozen over. The ice is white and shiny and reflects the rocks above it. Around the tree there is a bit of snow on the ground and there are a couple less vibrant spruces to the right.

It is very snowy so we're just going to look at this aloe plant instead
An aloe plant with several green spiky leaves. The closest I can get to a garden today.

January 27th: art
A large mural painted on the side of a house in Bergen in Norway. It depicts a large green creature (maybe a troll?) with a blue face and huge arms. Its body looks to be made of pieces of a landscape. Its shoulders are rocky hills, its clothing and hair are made from grass and ferns, and its arms are large logs and twining vines. There is a deer looking up at it and a wolf walking in front of it looking at the viewer.

January 23rd: fungi
A large hoof-shaped fungus is growing on a tree trunk. It is white underneath and black at the sides, and has a cap of green moss growing on top. It looks like a not-super-appetizing layer cake or perhaps a very small, very funky house. In the background there are other trees and some dead leaves are on the ground.

January 20th: cute
A small air plant sits in a vintage ceramic plant pot shaped like a young girl sitting by a stump with a book of music open on her lap. The plant sits in the stump part of the plant pot. The girl is looking down at the music and she has a bow in her hair.

January 16th: book
A green and white book published in 1953 with the title "Stand Up and Die" and the tagline "A Captain Heimrich Mystery". The authors are Richard and Frances Lockridge. The cover shows the back of a man wearing a suit and hat standing in an open doorway. He is looking at a man and a woman who are looking back at him with shocked faces.

January 15th: serene
Five wooden houses and barns sit near the shore of a Norwegian fjord. There is calm water in the foreground and low mountains covered in coniferous trees in the background. The buildings sit on a green grassy landscape. The sky above is blue with a few wispy white clouds.
