I looked through my mentions notifications and noticed that the theme for this week’s #pobphotocontest organised by @friendlymoose is BLUE!
Blue is my all time favourite colour. That’s the reason why I end all my posts with blue heart 💙. I love blue flowers, blue pots, my water bottle is blue and of course tons of my clothes are in various shades of blue. For someone with winter-type of beauty blue colour is perfect, plus is matches my blue eyes, although don’t worry, I won’t make a selfie of my blue eyes while wearing blue jacket, which I currently have on me for this purpose 😉
When typing ‘blue’ in my photo album, of course there are mainly photos of blue sky. The search feature still need a lot of work I recon. I picked various pictures where there were not much blue in sight, while it skipped the obvious blue’s. Like this one for example:
Cute little budha’s portraying famous: ‘See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ Japanese proverb. In the original, there are three monkey figures:
- Mizaru,
- Kikazaru,
- Iwazaru.
I do love this budha’s version of it though 😍 These 3 cuties live in my Brazilian friend’s balcony. She always has beautiful decorations in her surroundings. Below are couple more of figurines that decorate her balcony:
I took those pictures a while ago, although I never happened to post them and today is a perfect opportunity to use them.
Another capture I was thinking to enter POB contest with is that funny one of Alfie in one of his weird sleeping positions! I know, he’s not blue, but his bowtie is blue and there is a blue box behind him too, so it captured my blue focused eye when I saw it:
Also a picture I took not ever suspecting I will use it in a post. A while ago I was getting very agitated with the cars that parked right ourside my drive and/or on the other side of the road, where there are clear double yellow lines indicating no parking allowed. Delivery tracks of neighbours and sometimes even huge lorries were blantly ignoring the double yellows and I took this picture to moan to the council about it. Not sure if I used it for this purpose, but I still have a picture and it is BLUE!
And of course, there is rarely a post of mine with no flowers, so let’s check some of my favourite blue flowers - Lobelia. When I first move to my house these were growing in my garden and I fell in love with them from the first sight. How could I not? They’re such an amazing, deep blue cuties:
I was hoping they will be coming back each year and dueing some mild winters then manage to stay and greet me with their cuteness in the next season, but most of the time I just go to garden centre and buy a few plugs of those to scatter around my flower pots. They just never disappoint with the abundance of little blooms throughout the season.
And some random light blue flowers I captured at the garden centre. Not as intensly blue as Lobelia, but also pleasant:
To end this post with more blue, here is one of my favourite pots. It’s a simple, plastic one that I purchased some flowers in it, but I do love the contrast it gives to yellow or orange flowers I usually grow in it and it always makes me smile when I glance at it while sipping my morning coffee/tea on my front porch. Hope you like it too!
That’s it. A bit of a random post today, full of various blue objects, but hey ho, there has to be some randomness in our lives too!
#pobphotocontest runs on a weekly basis, with new theme announced each Sunday. If you’d like to participate in this week’s BLUE theme, please head over to the announcement post to read all the rules of the contest!
