It's always fun finding new photos for Earth Friendly Photo Friday especially when you find a new artist when you aren't even looking. This gem of an artist was a delightful surprise while I was looking for featured photos for yesterday's post on ending rural hunger.

This month's photo comes all the way from the Northern Utrecht region of the Netherlands. The Dutch, world famous for their tulips and windmills have been utilizing wind energy way before alternative energy was the craze it is today. This beautiful misty morning photo is stunningly vivid as is all of Jeroen van Daal's work. If you love Dutch windmill photos or fantastic landscape photography in general swing by his site and immerse yourself in some very earth friendly photos.

If you'd like to share a windmill picture or other earth friendly photo leave a comment below, till next time have a fairly fun earth friendly photo friday.

Welcome to another edition of Earth Friendly Photo Friday, and what better way to celebrate Friday the 13th than with a spooky iridescent photo. I love the lighting in this photo and the spooky vibrant green. It is certainly reminiscent of any number of those classic horror films like Friday the 13th. (Hello, Anybody there...) You'll have to give some great feedback to Sylvain and check out his other earth friendly Flickr pics.

Until next month, have a very lucky Friday the 13th! and remember if you would be interested in contributing to Earth Friendly Photo Friday (with the potential of contributing to a Mr. Linky style photo share) please leave a comment below.

Actually it begins with an "E" and a lichen licking leaf, but who's keeping score anyway? Welcome to the first ever Earth Friendly Photo Friday! Frankly that's a fantastic fandango of "f" sounds, but I digress as I look for an egress under duress perhaps from a little stress. Oh-boy don't get me started.

What is Earth Friendly Photo Friday?

Well, an earth friendly photo is any photo that celebrates the earth - whether that be nature or a picture of your recycling bin - it really is open to a broad interpretation. And Friday, well that is the day after Thursday and before Saturday.

I was pursuing a random blog trail the other day and I happened upon Earth To Holly a fun little photo blog with a plethora of pleasing photos. I was inspired to create my own photo feature here at Earth Friendly Goodies since long ago in a land far far away I played the 'ol photography game. I don't get out enough these days to play with the camera but I do enjoy the beautiful images captured by my fellow artists.

Thus Earth Friendly Photo Friday is born. I'm not sure as of yet where it will go, but I'm hoping it will be a regular feature - let's say on Fridays perhaps? I could open it up to a Mr. Linky type Blog Carnival, or just find and feature my favorite photos from around the web or have artists submit their photos for consideration - or maybe both, the possibilities are earth moving. In a friendly way.

I'll take your suggestions below, and next Friday we'll see just where we sit, or stand, or sit and stand it really is up to you.

First let me Leaf you with a photo - one of my own from early Spring taken at Taylor's Falls, MN. I had a rare day to enjoy all to myself so I went for an early Spring hike on a crisp cloudy morning.

This photo may not be an award winner but I love the subtle green lichen contrasted with the striking orange leaf that was left over from last Fall. I'm also a sucker for lovely texture and this photo certainly has a very tactile attraction for me. I hope you enjoy it - come back next month for Earth Friendly Photo Friday to see what treasure we'll un-earth.

Have a mighty fine Friday from Earth Friendly Goodies.
