ABC Wednesday 'A'
A as in Appleblossom, AZURE and Anthroposophist.
This pictures is taken far, far from the Côte d'Azur it is taken on a warm and lovely day in May in Åkerby (Uppland). The pink appleblossom goes well with the Azure blue sky I think. By the way have you started with the pruning of your apples yet? Or are you doing like the Anthroposophists does, using the J.A.S pruning method? Generally I do, but if there is very much that has to be done I take both methods that year. Early spring and J.A.S pruning.
Azure is a blue color on the HSV color wheel at 210 degrees. Azure is the hue that is halfway between blue and cyan. Its complementary color is orange. Azure is a near synonym for the color blue. Commonly it refers to a bright blue, resembling the sky on a bright, clear day.
The term azure derives from the Persian لاژورد (lazhward), which was the name of a place in modern Turkestan known for its deposits of lapis lazuli (“stone of lazhward”). The word was adopted into Old French by the twelfth century. From the French it was adopted into English as a near synonym for "blue". The first recorded use of azure as a color name in English was in 1374. wikipedia Azure

I shan't embarrass myself trying to pronounce, but it was fun and the photo is awesome.
Blue is my favorite color and I love SKY BLUE, the blue of a sunny coastal day, with the ocean reflecting the azure sky.
What a nice surprise on a snowy, grey day..lovely...
We lived in the French Riviera of Cote d'Azur for 10 years, you made us missing that part of our life again.
Lovely colour, azure. I even like the way it glides off the tongue.
Hi folks ad thank you for your lovely comments.
Anthro...Anthroposophists it is one long and hard word and it's the same in swedish.

Hej Tyra
Jag håller med dig om att det ser kallt ut. Stolen är inte min. Tänk dig sitta på den och älven flyter precis nedanför kanten en varm sommarkväll. Det får den uppleva som sitter på stolen.
Blommorna på trädet är ju fantastiska snart är det vår.
Tack för kommentaren.
Jag skall försöka komma ihåg din önskan.
Ha en bra dag
Gunilla
Tusen tack :9 dina bilder är också så otrolig fina
