I took my camera with me on Tuesday, on a trip to one of my favorite color-collecting places....Old Town Alexandria (Virginia).
There were "signs" of BLUE everywhere...
And this interesting flag...I wonder what it represents...
A subtle BLUE...
And a glorious BLUE sky!
Where did you find your BLUES?
Post up to five BLUE photos today and leave a comment here and/or at Jennifer Coyne Qudeen's blog. We'll link to your post for our monthly Roy blog hop! I'll be posting updates through Saturday, May 23.

What beautiful blue signage.Love blue and white they work so well together.
Hi Maya- Thanks for continuing to be a loyal color "searcher"! BTW: I've sent a number of my students to your Million Little Stitches blog to look at the Monsoon book...it's wonderful!
DeleteHi, Julie. What lovely blues!
ReplyDeleteI've just posted my blue offerings, a varied mix.
Hi Margaret- I enjoyed your blues this month...thanks for continuing to participate! It's also been lots of fun seeing what you're doing with all your mark making. I hope to be doing some of that this summer...after classes are through.
DeleteHi Julie, I really enjoyed the blue tour of Alexandria, as my son used to live there and I smiled at the memory of our visit to old town. I have also posted my blues - thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharmon- Can't seem to find your post...
DeleteLove seeing all the blues! Would love to join you all in searching. I've posted my blues here http://www.bucolicdreaming.com/
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy- Thanks for joining in! This is really a fun blog hop...you get to see so many "takes" on the color of the month. I hope that you continue to join in.
DeleteAs always, your Old Town posts make me yearn for a visit. Not sure if we're going to DC for the 4th this year. Will you be around?
ReplyDeleteYes...I'll be in town! It would be great to see you.
DeleteLove you blues! I've posted some too: www.lindastokes-textile artist.com
ReplyDeleteHi Linda...as usual...I'm in love with you textiles!
DeleteHi Julie - I think you forgot to include my link - just a reminder! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sharmon- Finally got the link to your blues. An eclectic selection! Just love that mysterious blue head!
DeleteSorry, Julie, I don't know why it didn't publish at first, but seems to be on there now. Blogger and I are having some issues...
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, Julie! Looks like you had a great walk that day, and it's amazing how many shades of blue you found. And what. I ask, is better than finding a sign that reads, "The garden is open." : )
ReplyDeleteI love walking the streets of Old Town Alexandria...you never know what you will find! Wish I had had time to find out more about that "Garden" :)
