Friday - blue




Yesterday's late afternoon walk was one where I took this picture with my camera phone. This mornings walk was also perfect weather. The lone "blue" flower just alone in the middle of the brown ground cover and thorns and weeds always catch my attention. I also find blue in nature to be somewhat of a surprise. Of course it is a pleasant surprise. The question could be ..................


"What in nature is naturally blue?"

Water comes to mind, but water is not blue, even though it may look blue, it is just a reflection of the sky. The sky would seem obvious especially if your in New Mexico but it is not actually blue. Apparently it is just a "refraction of light" entering the atmosphere (Or something along those lines) I guess that leaves some plants, flowers, some animals eg. exotic frogs fish and certain stones. Wonder why moods are sometimes called blue?

guess one question might be did I touch up this photo? Another might be did you notice the mountains on the picture below are "blue" sort of?
