Colors in Nature

Blue ~ part 2

Blue is probably the most plentiful color in nature since the majority of our planet is covered by water as well as a blue sky on a clear day. It is such a refreshing color and can easily be captured in a nature photograph that happens to have water or sky in the background regardless of the color of the main subject. Many of my landscapes have blue in them and if it’s dawn or dusk everything is enveloped in a deep shade of blue no matter what color it is. Every once in a while I’m lucky enough to capture a brilliantly blue bird such as the Blue Jay or as you will see below, a Tree Swallow on a sunny day. Please enjoy this collection of blue and keep an eye out for the next in my series of colors, yellow.
