Photo a Day Challenge: Water Blue
More Photo a Day.
More Photo a Day.
A dozen articles to quench your creative thirst.
My submission for Nancy Merrill’s Photo a Week Challenge with prompt: blue.
My husband’s previous wheels, 1979 MGMidget. Recently traded in for a new Sentra.

The sky’s been weird lately,
black swirling clouds,
out of character for the desert.
Do cacti and tornados even go together?
Thirty years ago,
the sky was always turquoise,
the sunset always peachy.
Why the paradigm shift?
What has changed?
Has the earth been nudged out of orbit?
Is it falling,
falling,
falling
into the depths of the universe?
O Rock, O Rock
Three days in a row
A stock-still quail beside the path startled me
I studied it to discover
It was only a rock.
The third day
I picked it up
Sure it had wisdom to share with me.
I kept it in the laundry room
On top of a tower of storage boxes.
Every time I saw it
I remembered how it surprised me anew
Every day
Even though I knew it was hard cold unbreathing.
It’s gone (where did it go?)
Yet it retains its ability to surprise me
Popping into my memory at the oddest moments.
Blues
Blue jeans
Blue moons
The blues
Blue skies
Blue seas
Blue blood
Navy blues
Baby blues
Loneliness is blue
Regret is blue
Memories of childhood are blue
Fading into the distance
