Over at the Studio Sublime the prompt for this weeks photo challenge was 'Hues of Blue'. I don't usually work with blue, although it's a colour I love, especially in the garden, so it gave me the perfect opportunity to photograph this beautiful sea holly that is growing just outside my back door - it was quite a painful experience as it's about 90% prickles!
I also found the Ceratostigma in bloom and looking glorious - such a wonderful shade of blue - and decided it would look quite good against some old, blue books.
I gave all the photos a 'bluish' feel using textures from Pixel Dust and French Kiss.
