I took these shots in April of 2008, yes, in spring. Blue, for me, is the color of hope...as one song goes.
Why? Simply because a cloudless sky is blue and when you look up, you'd be reminded that "when the world turns its back on you, He is the only one who remains. "

Also, springtime is as synonymous to hope, when the flowers bloom we know, brighter days are ahead. So we hear 'spring of hope,' 'hope springs eternal' and so on. Here are some more of the spring flowers from April of 2008.
Happy Photohunting!

Blue's my favorite color too and yeah, love it when I see blue skies (which, sadly, is not as often as I would like over here in Hong Kong).
ReplyDeleteLovely flower shots you've shared with us.
ReplyDeleteWith them, I'm hoping for more of your wonderful shots to view :P
Your flowers are very pretty hope we can see that again this spring. Take care and happy weekend. Mine is up also.
ReplyDeleteI like your optimism! winter time has just begun and we here in the east coast part of the US sometimes have to endure it until late spring- we go from winter-to-summer! we had snow one time in Easter, I think!!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are beautiful and hopeful to see as where I am, we're still recovering from a snowstorm that's left us with 5 inches of snow and cleaning up... sigh.
Those are some beautiful flower... love the blue ones most... the sign of hope. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
