Blue

Blue is just such a pretty color; I don't understand why blue can also mean sad. I think it's a very odd world when you take the prettiest color that someone can see and make it mean that you're sad.

Annnnd after a slight camera dilemma (I dropped my D50 in the stream and it died...ahh but it was headed toward the end of it's life anyway) I'm getting a Nikon D80!!! We had to have it shipped here one day because we're HEADED TO ALASKA tomorrow! Yayy! The D80 is here in town, so it made it but I haven't gotten it yet. :)

    The bokeh in this is just amazing.
    and I don't quite understand why blue means sad either,
    but sometimes sorrow can be beautiful
    so maybe that's why.

    Wow - this is so beautiful. The bokeh is just perfect! I'm so sorry about D50 - I'm sure your heart was broken! Congrats on the upgrade and have a great time in Alaska!!
