Grape Hyacinth (Muscari Armeniacum) Muscari armeniacum, commonly called grape hyacinth, is an early spring-blooming bulbous perennial that is native to southeastern Europe (including Armenia). It features conical racemes of slightly fragrant, tightly packed, deep violet blue, urn-shaped flowers atop scapes rising to 8” tall in early spring. Each bulb produces 1-3 scapes with 20-40 flowers per scape. Each flower has a thin white line around the rim. Dense inflorescence purportedly resembles an elongated, upside-down bunch of grapes, hence the common name. Scapes rise up from somewhat floppy clumps of narrow, fleshy, basal, green leaves (to 12” long) that appear in autumn and live through the cold winter to spring when the plants flower.

Pretty windy today so the birds had a hard time hanging on the feeder. Also the wind was blowing toward me so the birds didnt show me their better side most of the time.

Southwark Bridge
An arch bridge linking Southwark and the City of London for vehicular, cycle and pedestrian users. This bridge is popular with commercial vehicles like lorries as I think this is one of the few bridges that they are allowed to use to get across the River Thames and a direct route from the south to the City of London.
Combination of 2 pictures and some Photoshop filters: maybe nothing at all, but i love the result!
The title comes from JumpingJack: much more better than mine!

talk about layered background! First I used all kinds of blue ink and water on a acrylic block, then I used a silhouette mask and lastly I added several stamped "exotic bloom". sentiment is embossed, off course ... (in blue with gold glitter)
This is our new precious and bratty puppy, Bleuette (Bleu for short). In the pictures, her eyes appear to be light green, but they are truly light blue. I am seeing green in them in some lights though. We aren't sure of her heritage, but her mother is supposed to be a mixture of Jack Russell and Shih-Tsu. Her father is supposed to be a Chihuahua, but we do not believe she could possibly have one drop of Chihuahua blood in her even though she is totally full of herself. :o) She is already about 6 pounds, and we aren't sure of her age~~~but I don't believe she is near 3 months as we were told. She still has puppy breath. We have always had small dogs, so Bleu may just show us another way......
After a long time trying to use muslin backgrounds, I finally tried seamless paper and it yields way better results and the paper is relatively cheap and most of the time can be rolled up and reused.
Blue Hill at Stone Barns was opened by Dan Barber in the spring of 2004 within the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, a non-profit farm and educational center located on 80 acres of former Rockefeller estate in Pocantico Hills. The center was created by David Rockefeller, his daughter Peggy Dulany, and their associate James Ford as a memorial for Peggy Rockefeller, who died in 1996. The farm-to-table destination, housed inside a former dairy barn, emphasizes seasonal and locally sourced ingredients including many from the surrounding fields and pasture.

It appears that the city of Tokyo has allowed some rather impressive graffiti to not be painted over. If it's beautiful, keep it. I like that policy.
i decided to make a blue whale. I also decided I wanted it strained. Then I decided I wanted to take a picture, and then I decided that I was going to play with the ISO of my camera. The picture's a bit grainy as a result, but it's kind of pretty.
A blue Ultraman toy i love, shot with my xmas macro flash! (I'm prolly exhanging it for something else, though)
