Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge – The Blues

thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2023/06/03/weekly-prompts-colour-challenge-blues/

Blue is often related to the feeling of being depressed or sad but it is also a colour that is very relaxing and soothing and if you ask people what their favourite colour is, it is most often blue. People always tell me that blue is my colour because it brings out the blue from my blule green eyes but it has to be a very specific blue. A pale blue or denim blue really does nothing for me except wash me out. My best blues are royal blues and bright blues and turquoise blues.

Other than the sky, blue is difficult to find in nature but I did manage to find a flower that was blue.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Birds n Bees

….thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts

Some of my favourite subjects for photography are bees on flowers and birds. I find photographing birds more difficult because I can’t get close enough with my iPhone and I need to use my ‘big’ camera with the telephoto lens. I don’t always have the camera with me because it is awkward and heavy but when I do it takes superior shots of birds.

RDP Tuesday – Indefatiguable

….thanks to the Ragtag community for hosting RDP Tuesday https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2023/05/23/rdp-tuesday-indefatigable/

There are days when I feel like the Energizer Bunny. I can keep going and going but I do eventually crash ….for days after. Kids and animals never seem to get tired or at least that’s what they want us to think. I also have two marathon runners in the family. My husband ran marathons in his 20s and 30s and years later our oldest daughter started running marathons. She gets better with every race. They also never seem to tire during a race.
