January: Brown
February: Yellow
March: Green
April: Pink
May: Purple
June: White or silver
To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.
This month we will be looking for Blue. A primary colour that we look upon almost every day. But don’t forget about the different hues which include indigo and ultramarine, cyan and the other blue-greens such as turquoise, teal, and aquamarine. Blue also varies in shade or tint; darker shades of blue include ultramarine, cobalt blue, navy blue, and Prussian blue; while lighter tints include sky blue, azure, and Egyptian blue.
It’s nature’s colour for water and sky, but is rarely found in fruits and vegetables. It also happens to be my favourite colour.
“I will try to cram these
paragraphs full of facts
and give them a weight
and shape no greater than
that of a cloud of blue
butterflies.”

LOVE your blues, Jude!
Thanks Sue. Hope you will find some unusual blues for me this month.
Some blues, unusual probably not….
My weekly suggestions might help. I’m sure you will have something interesting in your archives.
The view in early morning approaching Agios Nikolaus will be one….indelibly etched on my memory for nearly 40 years
Ah, yes, Greek churches with blue domes.
Oh, I never saw any of those…not on Crete
I’m thinking of Mykonis / Santorini, but I don’t have photos.
Never been to those….
My favourite colour too!
👍🏻
I don’t have a favourite colour – I like some shades of all colours – but if I did, blue might be the one.
Having read your comment about hoping for quirky, here goes! https://susanrushton.net/2021/07/04/logos-and-street-art/
Do you really want to give me the blues? Well, it worked: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2021/07/04/babys-got-blue-eyes-%f0%9f%8e%b9/
Great start from you: I like the beach cabana, and the mask, and the window, and the flowers. 😍
Think of summer blue rather than ‘the blues’ I want this to be an uplifting month 😊
I’ll do my best. 😊
Not my best but it’s a start
I like it!
I was going through some photos and that suddenly came up as blue as, so I just had to do that as an opener 😁
It used to be the greens… but now like so many things it’s not an absolute – depends on the environment, light, purpose – so I’d say Rainbow! 😉
Ah, that’s a sitting on the fence sort of answer 😁
