A good friend of mine says blue is the color of heaven. Sounds good to me- I've always loved this color in any shade!

And there's a lot of fun similes you can find with the word blue in them. Let's see if you can add to my list:

1) As blue as the sky in June!
Great color

As blue as ... Miles Davis? That's a gorgeous colour, Ann.

Yes, I think blue would probably be my favorite, though a close runner up is green

I love the light in this and the vibrant of the blue

We used to sing Blue Moon in choir at school. Not that was a trip down memory lane. Wonderful capture of your blue item. How about blue ocean?

@karenann Thanks Karenann- that's another good one!
@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie! I think this kind of blue glass is my favorite (oh! how could I forget Bluegrass!!??).

July 8th, 2012  
Mum used to say she had told us xyz 'until she was blue in the face'...! If she was this gorgeous colour she might not have minded! Love the cobalt blue, I have a lot of it in my coloured glass collection and have loved seeing yours this week. Can't wait to see Violet tomorrow,.....!
July 8th, 2012  
Blue and beautiful!
July 8th, 2012  
Gorgeous dark blue! I'm loving everyone else's blue shots :) (Mine didn't quite work out as hoped, and nor did my rainbow, but everyone else is doing a brilliant job!). I'm stuck for similies - I'm sure there are loads and I can't think of any!
July 8th, 2012  
Wow, what a colour!
July 8th, 2012  
Great vibrant blue! I like your list of blue things....They made me smile as I remembered them.
July 8th, 2012  
Beautiful piece, lovely capture! One of my favourite sayings is "once in a blue moon"

You forgot the best blue of all, Ann.... prttBLUEs! j/k ... This is a great shade of blue. It's a wonderful shot! I love the colors I'm seeing with this thumbnail challenge. Great shot! Well done!
July 8th, 2012  
I love your list. All I could think of to add was the song, "Blue on Blue" by Bobby Vinton. Your rainbow's lookin good! I love this idea.
July 8th, 2012  
very nice blue! You're really into round shapes lately: is it a coincidence?
July 8th, 2012  
@summerfield Thank you Vikki! I'm glad you're not really bruised! I'm so clumsy though it's surprising that I don't have a bruise right now!! It's a bottle neck.
@filsie65 Thanks Phil! My mother said that too!
@myautofocuslife Thank you so much Livia!
@alia_801 Thank you Alia! Your rainbow is fine! Don't feel badly!
@sangwann Thank you Dione!
@mrssmith Thanks Carla!
@salza Thank you Sally! And there really is such a thing as a Blue Moon! And it's a rare thing- which is how we get the phrase.
@prttblues Oh! How could I forget that?? Silly me! Thanks Bev!
@cimes1 Thanks Carole! There were a lot of good songs about blue from that era!
@woot Thanks Davide! A partial coincidence. Most of my glass pieces are round or circular (like plates and votives) so the pictures naturally lend themselves to circles but by orange I'd decided to keep things in the round for the overall look of the thumbnails as well. So when it came to dark blue I chose to use this bottle as opposed to the other one I have which is square at the base. Thanks for noticing.
