is it blue? Is it purple?
Depends on your own perception of colour, interpretation.
In the garden sunlight, they are definitely blue.
Anemone coronaria, poppy anemone popularly in English, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Anemone, native to the Mediterranean region.
In making these Macros, I discovered that some flowers have 'hairs, something I did not know nor expected!
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

The Double-crested Cormorant is a prehistoric-looking, matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin. Though they look like a combination of a goose and a loon, they are relatives of frigatebirds and boobies and are a common sight around fresh and salt water across North America—perhaps attracting the most attention when they stand on docks, rocky islands, and channel markers, their wings spread out to dry. These solid, heavy-boned birds are experts at diving to catch small fish.
This Cormorant gave me a nice approach with the branches considerately not blocking the bird’s eyes. This was taken at Green Cay, where the Cormorants and Anhinga were working hard to bring home nesting material. Action has slacked off and there doesn’t seem to be as many birds as in years passed. I hate to say it, but it doesn’t bode well for the future. I’ll throw my pitch in to support politicians who support environmental protection, conservation and public places. Pitch over, have another beer! It’s not the best juxtaposition but let me with us all and wonderful New Year and I hope to see many of you out in the field or at least online. All the best, Mike (Double-crested Cormorant - Nannopterum auritus) (Sony a1, 400mm, f/2.8, 1/2500 second, ISO 5000)

Double Arch, in Arches National Park, is what is known as a pothole arch, formed by water erosion from above rather than more typical erosion from the side. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet (45 m) and a height of 104 feet (32 m). These dimensions give the arch the tallest opening and second-longest span in the park. (Source: Wikipedia)
Unlike some other arches in the park, visitors are allowed to hike up to and directly under these arches. People can be seen here beneath the arches.

I had just finished preparing dinner, when I looked through my kitchen window and saw this amazing double rainbow. The chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and country gravy could wait for a few minutes. I grabbed my nearest camera, and with my apron flapping, I darted out into the rain. This was my view once I reached the end of my driveway. It was well worth getting a little soggy to capture it.
Double Arch is in the Windows section of Arches National Park. It is 112 feet tall with a 144 feet span. It is a pothole arch, meaning that water erosion from above resulted in its formation.
Double rainbows are formed when sunlight is reflected twice within a raindrop with the violet light that reaches the observers eye coming from the higher raindrops and the red light from lower raindrops. Quoted from the Met Office website
Double-crested Cormorants do not have waterproof feathers despite being diving birds. Therefore, they must dry off their feathers after each dip in order to fly properly.
This double-crested cormorant was standing on a log in the Don River, Toronto, in August 2025, just a few metres from the Don Valley Parkway. This species is striking in appearance, with orange face, hooked beak, vivid turquoise eyes, and black feathers and feet.
A small thunderstorm passed just to the east, right on sunset a shaft of light came over head and lit up exactly the right rain drops. 2 minutes later it was gone.
Double.....Deckers.....Dublin
Dublin does love its double deckers, just the norm stomping up & down the stairs to get a good seat or tuck away in a quiet corner after a busy day.
