Focus on Life: Week 31 ~ Hues of Blue

Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime is hosting a year long challenge which is... sublime... as you'd expect with such a studio name. The challenge is named 'Focusing on Life' and every week Sally is sending a prompt on what should we focus the following week.

This week we are to capture hues of blue.

Isn't this lucky?! Right now we are parked on the beach for our vacation. For the past few days we haven't had that much blue: it was cloudy and it rained (luckily for us only over night and between 3 and 5 pm, just to give us a break).

But today... oh, today...

The vastness of the Ocean is incredible... even at low tide...

Not sure what those birds are, but they were quite unafraid of any humans around them, and very intent on picking up something from the sand... not sure what either :)

Look, even the child has some hues of blue on him today!

Wherever you are I hope you enjoy your day - we're taking the customary break in the afternoon, while the skies open... and get a much needed rest.

For more of my favourite colour interpretations - please make sure you visit everybody else; we've gathered at Miss Sally's, as usual.

  1. OOh what beautiful sparkling shades of blue! I'm right there with you, I will always go back to blue. I'm no good with the bird species, there are more just in our backyard than I can name.
