John of Journeys with Johnbo, invites us to showcase photographs that portray the various shades of the cool tones; purple, blue and green. I’ll begin with the soft-fresh hue of lavender. This sunrise view across President Channel from the west side of Orcas Island, WA evokes in me a sense of awe and transcendence.
True purple flowers are unusual and always alluring when they appear in nature. Below are three that have graced my spring gardens over the years, tulip, hellebore and huechera.
Lets move over a bit on the color wheel to blue. There are so many lovely shades of blue, yet for this challenge I’m sticking with the hue of a mostly clear sky and its reflection on water.
“Blue skies smiling at me, nothing but blue skies do I see.” Irving Berlin
Blue calms me, brings a smile to my face and sets my heart to singing. One step over on the color wheel is green, the dominant color in the Pacific Northwest USA. Below Martha’s Marsh, near Leadbetter Point State Park WA, hosts a profusion of water lilies as spring starts to move toward summer.
Green gives me hope, it symbolizes life and regeneration. Green equals growth and health in my world, and when I need a boost, the beauty of nature lifts my spirits.

Lindy, these are amazing photos! I liked your approach of using specific colors in each set. Of course, the green on blues in the end are my favorites. All so beautiful!
Thank you, Egídio!
Beautiful! Chihuly, snow geese, and Irving Berlin are always faves. 👏
Thank you, John!
Wonderful images, Lindy! My favorite is that beautiful opening photo! Cool colors well represented!
Thank you, John. That scene is repeated so often there that it is mesmerizing! Morton Lauridson’s lives on Waldron Island, the one closer in. His music sounds much like this scene looks!
