~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you noticed how much Beautiful Blue is used for the 2010 Winter Olympics?

Take a look at the logo.




Isn't this sky stunning?



Gaze at the beautiful setting of Vancouver.




I have to tuck in a picture of twice-gold medal winning champion, Shaun White. Notice, please, the color he's hanging onto.

    Plenty of blue skies where it's cold and plenty more where it's HOT (Australia). Your shots were not only blue, they were refreshing!
