Cerulean,, is a color term that may be applied to certain colors with the hue ranging roughly between blue and cyan, overlapping with both. It also largely overlaps with azure and sky blue, although cerulean is dimmer.
The first recorded use of cerulean as a color name in English was in 1590. The word is derived from the Latin word caeruleus, “dark blue, blue or blue-green”, which in turn probably derives from caelulum, diminutive of caelum, “heaven, sky”

Droplets

I took a walk outside between the rain showers we have had for the past few days, from what I’ve read, not much improvement is to be expected.

These  droplet pictures are here in color, and I will post them at RITVA’S ART – MONOCHROME PHOTOGRAPHY in as the blog name suggests in Mono.

I have fallen in love with black and white images, so I set a new blog just for them. I am  still trying to figure out the theme for it. That may change… but if you time please visit and follow. I am totally exited about this project and would like to share it with you.
