The Colour is Blue….

Blue is the colour….but thankfully not my mood. All seems bright in the garden today.

  3. I always wonder why blue is associated with being sad. Blue skies, blue eyes, this pretty blue flower. I guess I should use “the googles” to research that some day. Regardless, I’m glad you’re not feeling “blue”, David. Great capture!

      1. I found several origins, but this is my favorite! Very interesting. “The phrase “feeling blue” is linked also to a custom among many old deep water sailing ships. If the ship lost the captain or any of the officers during its voyage, she would fly blue flags and have a blue band painted along her entire hull when returning to home port.”
