how many shades of blue
do you think there are
I see endless
when we get to the end of endless
how many shades of white
do you sense there are
most likely endless
consider green
how many greens do we find in our world
I find that greens are
endlessly
endless

This was lovely...I love the idea that colors are endless. Wonderful read!
ReplyDeleteI have always surmised colours are endless. You reinforced it. I like that!
ReplyDeleteweeks trample on each other like magazines
Please don't forget to post your creative works at Monday Poetry Train Revisited too!
I really like all the shades of blue in your first photo. I also like the idea that there are endless shades of blue and green (and other colors).
ReplyDeleteNicely done. Yes, colours are, indeed, endless.
ReplyDeleteAwe---all of those colors are marvelous. I especially love the first picture since blue is one of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeleteMmmh, so many colours. Too many to count! When I started cross stitching again I remember visiting a haberdashery and being overwhelmed by the choice of colours available. I started a rhino cross stitch years ago. There were over 50 shades of brown, cream/white, grey and green in that one project. I must admit I gave up around 3/4 of the way through. It became too confusing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I posted a blue photo today too...I think I needed the calm feeling it brings. Love the top photo...
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous. The blues are so beautiful. Very very nice...
ReplyDeleteTammie,
ReplyDeleteYour words ring true as there are so many shades of color in nature.
The water is so crystal clear it is breathtaking.
Barbara :)
Such LOVELY images and beautiful thoughts to accompany them. Thanks for sharing your array of blues and greens this week ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Thank you for sharing. Our minds cannot comprehend and therefore we stand in front of a mystery of sorts. How many colors are there within one shade of blue is like asking how many stars there are in the sky. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely endless. And your photos help to understand that concept.
ReplyDeleteWhat about all the shades of blueish grey? Don't they say there are 40 shades of green? ;-) The Indian pipe is absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful pictures. That water looks refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI like to think of colors as something more, evoking interpretations beyond the visual. Your photos allow me to do that. The mirror of the lake surface might even allow me to walk on water.
ReplyDeleteI love blue, I had a color analysis done, and she told me that blue and dark colors are my colors. So my ward robe is full of blues.
ReplyDeleteI like that Indian pipe. When does it bloom?
It does take blue along with so many hues to paint nature...and at times it is hard to see where one starts or ends as they blend together on the canvas of life.
ReplyDeleteThis poem fills me with hope and peace. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe top photo - don't be tricking us! That ain't McDonald; those are the waters to Avalon. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh the prisms of life so endlessly colorful. Your thoughts, your words, your photo's... Magnificent!! As always, you inspire me to go beyond.... Thank you for sharing pieces of heaven and part of your soul. Love and Light, Nina P.
ReplyDelete...so true!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photos. The third one gives new meaning to "watercolors."
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and your nice comment.
:-)
Love those indian pipes - they are parasitic plants, aren't they? That's why they are white - they don't need chlorophyl to make their own food, cos they steal it. So many shades of colours - lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteLove this lake-picture!! Love//Eva
ReplyDeleteEndless blue, white, green - a sense of infinite beauty.
ReplyDeleteA dull life we will have without colors. And endless it indeed is.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos...and beautiful words as well...
ReplyDeleteand when you get to the end of endless...there are still more! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said, and great images to show it...Colors like so many things are really endless if we look close enough.
ReplyDeleteNice post
Absolutely beautiful! I love the transition from blues to greens.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo blog !
ReplyDeleteI love "Shades of Blue".

Oh beautiful Tammie!! I have not seen Indian Pipes in ages!! Actually managed to get out to the woods this weekend - yay for a car!!! Love the water shots!!!
ReplyDeleteNamaste, Sarah
Tammie-Glacier looks exactly like I left it 5 years ago! I love the glacier waters and lake mcdonald. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and yes, I see what you mean about color! I especially like the colors in the third one, quite unusual.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous Tammie!
ReplyDeleteIndeed the colors are endless when we really look and allow ourselves to take them in....
It's just as lovely as on my first visit. I didn't realize this was for One Single Impression. I've not participated in far too long, but have decided to share Molly's Blues at Small Reflections ... and hope to get myself back into the OSI habit.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Oh how beautiful - all 3 photos!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many shades, but I could get lost in your blues and greens!
ReplyDeleteBlue is my favorite color. I love what you did with this prompt.
ReplyDeleteSuch an inspiring place you live.
Book??? Spill it girl! I must have missed this hon!!! Tell me about the book you are working on!! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie, these colors are endless. But my computer can only compute 256 the way I have it programmed.
ReplyDelete..
Lovely pictures and world
ReplyDeleteDear Tammie--
ReplyDeleteThese photos are remarkable! And I really loved your ideas of nuances of color. I often think about the many shades of green as I drive through our local deserts--there are thousands of shades of green--just in the desert!
Thanks again--subtlties become you!
Do you know Tammie that I visit your blog for a peaceful moment and a time for reflection. I find your photos breathtaking and your words are very inspiring. There is so many colours in nature and too many to count. It will be Autumn soon and then nature will be full of different shades of reds!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see some of your photo's then!
You are very lucky to live in Montana!!:)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, and your words are very thought provoking .. may I add that without black there would be no shades ... how interesting life is, where all negatives and positives make up such beautiful colors.
