Inspired by this prompt from

to share some photos of blue from my archives …

The most poignant one is the blue yarn which I used to crochet a never-finished piece while I sat in the hospital room as my dad passed away, the color and texture and repetition of stitching soothing me.

The others …

• Bumi with a Blue Squeaker and Big Eyes

• Blue music and Blue Christmas, West Virginia

• Vacation Pool Blue in Mexico

• Blue sky as we lifted off in a hot air balloon, North Carolina

• Magical Clouds and Blue Sea, Lipari, Sicily
