I enjoy the little condo I live in a lot, but there certainly is not anything in the way of scenery to look at. All the little houses are painted a brown that I never would have picked out and the carports have no doors. I am by no means knocking this place, though, as there are some really nice people here and the board takes good care of everything. I was on the board for a long time and this is a unique little complex and it's really the perfect spot for me. I digress, as usual, since what I wanted to do was comment on this beautiful sunset I photographed a couple of evenings ago. I held the camera high to get as little of the buildings as possible. You can't see a lot of the sky here but that evening what you could see was so very pretty. I loved the bare tree silhouetted against the pinks and mauves of sunset. Digital cameras are such fun and the photos so clear and beautiful. (Click to enlarge)

A Pretty Evening Sky

Something Blue Saturday
Earlier this week, Julie http://justtickety-boo.blogspot.com/ suggested doing a post on Something Blue this Saturday. Check out Julie's blog for her post. Above is a picture of a beautiful cloud formation right over my street one evening. Isn't it a beauty? The pictures that follow are some of my favorite things that are blue. 
In Dow Gardens, last summer. What a beautiful place to take a walk and see all the lovely flowers and trees. 
Morning Glories - a picture from the internet.
My husband worked for the Santa Fe for 41 years and was a railroader through and through. He also had an HO layout for almost all of our married life. This is a picture of the Santa Fe Blue Goose that ran in the 1930's. Ray had a model of this engine in his layout - it was a prized piece of rolling stock. 
Gorgeous forget-me-nots - taken from the internet. I have grown them, however. Gardening has been one of joys in my life.
Thought this was very cute and how most of us feel some days. Snoopy looks so comfy!
The little Smurfs. Are they still around? Would watch them with my two older granddaughters. 
I took this picture from my front door after an ice storm. Kind of pretty.
Fabric - blue fabric!!! Love it - and also red, green, pink, purple, etc. etc.! These are batiks and they have a special place in my heart!!
A blue small quilt made from Kaffee Fasset fabrics.
Gorgeous hydrangeas from the same walk at Dow Gardens.
My ornamental kale from last year. The curly leaves are so pretty and the color is scrumptious.
Started out with blue skies - now the best for last! Two beautiful big blue eyes of a most darling little girl (one of three, may I add, but the other two are brown eyed) that I love so very much! She is all grown up now but still has those big blue eyes!

Would You Be Interested
in joining in a posting of "Something Blue" next Saturday, May 2nd? My friend, Julie, who has a blog called Just Tickety-boo ( http://justtickety-boo.blogspot.com/) came up with this idea. Each blogger would post a picture or pictures of anything blue that she (or he - have to be politically correct here) loves. Somehow or other we could all be linked together by a list on someone's blog. Could be mine - or one of yours that more people go to.
Would love to have comments on this idea. By the way, I didn't take this picture, of course, but isn't it gorgeous?
