Blue Friday




Not as in feeling blue. I feel OK - a bit harassed maybe, a bit tired but not down.

This is a post about the colour blue. I decided to write it after coming across a post of Annie's and reading about a link-up over at Tara's blog. The Photo Gallery is simply a weekly get-together where you write a post (with photos) loosely based around a given theme. And this week's theme is 'Colour'.


I opted for blue because of the glorious skies we've had this past week. The photo above was taken when out walking near the house. We're so lucky here; it's maybe five minutes up the road and you go through some woods, climb a stile and head out into open moorland. A stream runs alongside the footpath. I used to come here after work (and a horrible commute) and just sit and decompress for a little while.


Of course, I couldn't do a post without mentioning an exciting find: the first bluebells of the year. We also have muscari in the garden, and there are forget-me-nots growing out of crevices on the roadside.


Yes, I've been playing around on Pixlr. My camera lens hasn't been smeared with dirt.


Blue skies mean washing on the line. Although the forecast for the weekend isn't looking too good so maybe I'll hold off on the washing until next week. Shame.


I'm looking forward to getting out and visiting some of my favourite secret bluebell spots for a meander and a photo-snapping session. I'm also wondering when it would be a respectable time to pour myself a nice G&T. Without going into detail, it's been one heck of a week. The weekend couldn't come soon enough for me.

I hope you have a good one and get the chance to stop and smell the bluebells.

  2. Gorgeous blue, such a calming colour, my favourite I think. Break out the gin, the sun's well over the yard arm and you deserve it. Wishing you a good weekend. CJ xx

  6. The weather has been better than forecast here, hope it is the same where you live. Blue is a tranquil colour, isn't it? I wrote about blue not so long ago but not with beautiful photos to accompany the words. Happy blue bell spotting! I have some in my garden already but I have bee told they are not the real ones. x

  8. Lovely set of photos, the blue sky's have been wonderful this week, dare I say it but I did ask for a little rain on Saturday so I could get some house work done and not be drawn out side into the sunshine...

  9. I'm off to stalk bluebells this week, come rain or shine. I'm so glad you had some time outside, I know it's a hard time for you at the moment so these stolen moments to yourself to try and clear your head must be precious x

  12. Lovely photos, blue bells are wonderful to see in their natural habitat, we are being battered by snow showers today, so the plants are looking a bit sorry for themselves and I'm missing the glorious blue sky we had over the past few weeks, hopefully it will be back soon.

  14. Nice filters on those photos, they work well. And what a pretty washing line shot. We finally had our bluebell walk today and it was everything I'd hope it would be.
