So no reason, except total randomness, I choose 'Blue'.
Then I found a whole host of idioms, sayings and quotes that contain the word blue. Some I use regularly and some I'd never heard of. Which ones do you use?
a blue-eyed boy
a bolt from the blue
between the devil and the deep blue sea
black and blue
blue blood
blue collar
blue in the face
bolt from the blue
feel blue
into the wide blue yonder
(Incidently I was playing around with this phrase when I was thinking about the title of my blog- until I decided on Graham's Landing instead!)
like a bolt from the blue
like blue blazes
once in a blue moon
out of a clear blue sky
out of the blue
scream blue murder
talk until one is blue in the face
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. We really do have a lot of phrases with "blue" in them. What an interesting list to read.
ReplyDeleteThere's probably a few more too! It's surprising how many of them I use!
DeleteSo lovely, I never thought I used so many of those saying.
ReplyDeleteLikewise- they keep cropping up too, I used another today- Running around like the proverbial blue fly!
DeleteNot only did I love your blue photos, I was amazed at how many phrases there are, ones that we use in everyday life.
