Today is Blue Monday hosted by Sally at, Smiling Sally. If you love the color blue be sure and visit Sally for blue treasures galore. You will love what you see.
What a great time we are having photographing these flowers. There is some blue in the sky, so I hope this photo qualifies for Blue Monday. Please forgive me if I don't visit everyone today, I will try.
This was taken on Saturday and I realize it could be a pink Saturday post but I think the blue sky works. These flowers are all along the highway in Franklin. There are many other varieties as well. You will see them on another post. Our photographer friends are here and we are looking for photo opportunities everywhere. Oh joy!!!
This is Bill's entry for the senior's photography contest. He won 3rd place. He is doing the happy dance.
Happy Blue Monday...love...Jeanne
.
The blue of the sky is what makes the other colors pop!
Thanks for sharing...and congrats to Bill!

Good morning, dear friend. Your photograph is gorgeous. I just love to see flowers growing along the road. North Carolina is very good for that.
Tell Bill I agree that is photo is a prize-winner.
Have a wonderful day. I'm rushing out the door to work. Later!

Beautiful photos, Jeanne.
Since I took my tiny bloggy break, last week, I'm trying to visit everyone this week. I'm sitting in J's chair, with my feet up and with a view of the lake. Well....when the pea soup fog burns off, I'll have a view of the lake.
Have a great week!! Just 7 more days, till we meet!

Good Morning Jeanne! Wait! It's probably afternoon where you are, so I'll "Good Day!".
Love those pics and all those flowers! How are you doing? I hope your weekend was wonderful. Mine was busy as we're still preparing for my dad's 80th bday party. I've been working in the yard and patio area...no matter how much I power wash, the patio still looks "55" years old, lol!

Howdy Back Yard Neighbor. I think the pink flowers just set off the blue sky perfectly. Are they just growing wild on the roadside? They are wonderful! And congratulations on the prize photo Bill.

Lovely pictures!!! The pink flowers and the blue sky are just beautiful together?

Dawn
