#SundayStills ~ Monthly Colour Challenge #Cobalt Blue in Nature #Photography

Welcome to the Sunday Stills Monthy Colour Challenge, hosted by Terry Webster Schrandt.

MonthlyColourChallenge

This month’s colour is Cobalt, described as ‘a cool color with a connection to nature, sky, and water’ so I’m starting with water. On the left is a lake in North Wales, on the right a view of Kielder Water, a large man made reservoir in Northumberland.

Taking the above photo as the sun was setting gave a nice contrast between the sky and clouds and left the hills and turrets of Conwy castle in darkness.

Lovely blues in the plant kingdom, a hydrangea flower head and a hedgerow flower, I’m not sure what it is.

And given the time of year these are some of the Christmas lights along the trail at Bolesworth castle last year.

  5. Cathy, I always marvel at how our minds think quite alike with the images we select for our Sunday Stills posts. Cobalt blue is indeed a “cool” color and seems prevalent in nature as you show us today. Love the hint of blue on the magpie–I forget that their wings sport a bit of blue in the right light.

  8. Your photos are beautiful, Cathy. True blue! I love Wendy’s comment about your grandson. That is a darling picture – probably your favorite. 🙂 I loved how blue the reservoir is. 🙂

  10. Cathy, you chose beautiful photos for the challenge. Your cute little tike in an adorable blue coat is so sweet. If I’m not mistaken, the tiny blue flowers are Forget-Me-Nots. 💙💙💙 Nice job, thank you too for stopping by to see my photos. I’m glad you enjoyed the bird photo too!
