For Tina this week, Cool Colours – let’s explore some ways the cooler colors appear in our world. Personaly, I prefer warmer tones, so they are my start and finish in this collection.
…and you will have a great view of a beautifully dressed woman in a theatre in Denmark.
Back in Sweden again, how about an enchanting ”bracelet” made of glass from Tiffany lamps?
Or why not accompany some cool dinosaurs in the biggest stone pond in Europe?
When my adventurous senses have been satisfied –
Blue and green go so well together, don’t they? Please go to Tina’s cool post for more inspiration!
Thank you for all your magical Spots and Dots last week – you really came up with the most creative and surprising posts! And I do believe you had fun with it – and so had we!
We hope you also enjoy this week’s Cool Colors and will join us with your own examples. Please remember to link your response to Tina’s original post and to use the Lens-Artists Tag. Finally, next week we’re excited to announce that our challenge will be hosted by Dianne Millard of Rambling Ranger. Be sure to check out her beautiful blog and watch for her post next week. Until then, as always, please stay safe and be kind.

So cool to the eyes and relaxing photos! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed them!
Hi Leya
I hope you forgive me for playing again with this challenge. It’s Saturday night and the birds are having their baths. The bonus bird Rubber Ducky was a huge inflatable that got loose on the lake not far from the heron’s bathing spot. How funny.
Best, Babsje
A fun and lovely post, Babsje!
Glad.you like my bit of silliness! 😊
;-D

Your selections this week are outstanding, Ann-Christine.
It’s always a pleasure to view your choices. The Tiffany bracelet is very unusual.
The blue sky photo is mesmerizing. Mother Nature at her best.
Be Safe 😷 … Isadora 😎
Thank you, Isadora! This is Tina’s challenge!
Thank goodness for the creativity of all the lens artists, Ann-Christine, otherwise I wouldn’t have a clue what to post.
Your second photo is very intriguing and I really love the blue woman.
Thank you, Tracy! Creativity is not flowing really for me these days…but I try. A bit of a struggle. It is friends like you who keep me going.
I know exactly how you feel, Ann-Christine. Sometimes making history really sucks.

One gorgeous palette of blues and greens this is, Ann-Christine 🙂
Thank you kindly, Hammad!
Beautiful cloud formations over that meadow, Ann-Christine!
Yes, I loved it too!
Oh, my goodness, I just realized your name is Ann-Christine, not Leya! Oh, dear 😦
Well, I love your selection of photos. My favorite is the last one, the tree looks like it’s cradling delicate leaves, branches outstretching like arms. So lovely!
Thank you, Marie!
Wow! That’s some dinosaur. Nice collection of cool colors.
Thank you, John!
Love those dinosaurs, they must be huge 😃
Life size

Great post, Ann-Christine. Love the first photo and the woman in blue.
Thank you, Ana – the lady seems popular!
Wonderfully done, Ann-Christine. I liked the way you included both natural and human-produced. My favorite? OH yes … the second pic.
♥ Thank you, Frank!
Great choices Ann-Christine…beautiful meadow shot.
Thank you – lovely evening!
WOW. Great selections A-C.
Thank you, John!
Fascinating choices, A-C. Of course my favorite is the evening view. 🙂
♥
Wonderful post as always Ann-Christine. I love all of your examples but my favorite is that beautiful bracelet – is it yours?? Very interesting and varied collection – as always your nature shots are exquisite.
Tina, so glad you enjoyed them! The ”bracelet” is really an art installation – but looks like a bracelet… It seems popular!
Ann Christine, I adore your first flower in that dark blue. What remarkable photos for blue and green 😀
Thank you, Cee! That is one of my favourites ever – the flower.
Stunning pictures!
Thank you kindly, Helen!
Magnificent , a bit scary too but amazing closeups.
Thank you!

hi a. c. a wonderful mix of blue and green my favorite is the last picture.
best regards robert
Thank you, Robert!
A great selection of photos – I love the Tiffany bracelet and that last shot of the tree in particular 🙂
Thank you, Sarah! That ”bracelet” is popular!
These are wonderful cool colors. My favorite is the dinosaur.
Glad you like them, Beth!
That bracelet is fabulous, Ann-
Christine, and I’m only viewing this on my phone. Will pop back later for a better look. Last night we watched an episode of National Geographic about your beautiful country. The pines and the lakes… And the snow 🤗💕💕
Thank you, Jo – and it really is an art installation…looking like a bracelet!
🙂 🙂
Beautiful set of photos. The Tiffany bracelet is beautiful
Thank you, Nora!
Nature gives us a lot of blues and greens, but that first one is a super image.I loved the penultimate photo, the blue of the evening, the dense copse of trees, and the lush grass everywhere.
So pleased you liked them – thank you!
Hi Leya
I adore the whimsy of your blue-green dinosaur statue and that Tiffany glass bracelet is to die for. Your sixth photo, however, is my favorite – it is very striking. The sense of perspective, the way the gorgeous clouds draw the eyes in and the strong shafts of sunlight below the clouds at top right are wonderful, and the wispy grasses along the foreground margin are a great contrast to the clouds. Lovely photo.
Here’s my entry for this week’s challenge even though Great Blue Herons aren’t really blue at all:
Best, Babsje
Thank you so much, Babsje!
You’re welcome. Keep up the great challenges. I’m sure you are still missing your dear Totti. ❤
Thank you…and he will always be missed.

Ooo, just wonderful, all of them, but that bracelet is out of this world! 😮
I wish it was a real bracelet! It is an art installation…
Dear Ann-Christine,
we like the combination of green and blue although you say in German ”Grün und Blau ziert eine Sau” (green and blue adorns a pig). That goes back to Goethe’s normative ”Theory of Colour”. For Goethe those colours are an unharmonious combination which are neighbours on the colour circle. That is based on a wholistic theory of colours. Consequently the harmonious colour combinations are the complimentary colours as all primary colours are represented there (f.e. Red > Green {Yellow + Blue})
We love most the first and the second last of your pictures.
Thanks for sharing and wishing you a great day

Thank you so much for commenting – and liking my pictures! I was enchanted by the barn owl the other day! I will take a closer look, but I am very short of time these days. My daughter is moving and the garden is filled with weed…Hope you are all well and the sun is shining!
Thanks, dear Ann-Christine, we are all well, our garden is full of weeds as well, and no sunshine today. We are always busy with books – our own library and for the book fair.
Have a happy day

The love of books is always here, even if I don’t read as much as I used to. Right now we are trying to manage the move of a neverending library of Emma’s. Always a book worm, and the whole upper section of our house is ”populated” by her books. She had to buy a flat big enough for them – 100m2
Wishing you all a lovely weekend! ♥♥♥♥
That bracelet is gorgeous!
Thank you, Jude – I called it bracelet only…it is an art installation looking like a bracelet.
Whatever it is, it’s fabulous. Love the gecko 🦎
♥ Me too
I love the twoo snake heads 🙂
The dinosaurs are great – natural size as well!
Beautiful!
♥
Wonderful collection!
Glad you liked them, Sofia.
Bracelets from Tiffany lamps? Were they expensive bracelets?
And like your take on the blue and green
The theatre woman had a great costume
”Bracelet” it looks like, but is an art installation!
Oh! Got it

Love the dinosaurs! I thought they were serpents until I read your description, but anyway they look really wonderful!
They are – and very big!
Oh, do I, do I dare to climb up into the spring sunshine . . . hmph . . . I was not talking to you, my back – stop laughing, I can dream !!
