It appears a thaw may be underway.
I love the layers of the shades of blue. A beautiful place along the shoreline. Well captured, Lorraine.

Wonder of Nature! I like this delicate blue. Calm and thought provoking about universe.
Dark color - sprigs on the left top and ground on the right bottom - what a beautiful accent.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
If pastels were "vibrant" I'd tell you this is a set of vibrant pastels. I can't think of the right word to describe this scene, other than beautiful, peaceful, full of harmony. I like it, Lorraine.
27 Feb 2009 1:27pm
@Viewfinder: Well your comment is vibrant lol thanks a lot Vf :)

@Kathycalculates: Thanks so much Kathy, I'm glad you enjoyed ;)
@Eleftheria: Thanks a lot cutie :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
That blue is almost tropical, until you realize it is all illusion, its not the warm crest of a south sea island wave, but a scary frozen Canadian ice wave......brrrrrrr
27 Feb 2009 2:35pm
@Richard_Irwin: LOL I like that, thanks Richard ;)
