The art photos were taken by me, from their permanent collection. I didn't get the names of the artists. All the runway photos are sourced within the photographs. I'm leaving on a trip Wednesday, so if I don't visit your blogs, or post as often, that's why.

They dressed in blue, not completely,
 but in parts.  
  

Chris Benz 2011 Fall RTW

Chris Benz 2011 Fall RTW

For even if it is, the most
 popular,

favorite color, 

no one wants to hang
around someone who's all
 blue,  

all the time.

Little me when my room was a mess,
with an unmade bed.

I really dig this band.

Great Northern - Story lyrics 
..."And is it all those things that we won't ever say
And is it all those things we won't ever be
And is it all those things we would pay not to see

What do you want? What do you need?
What do you get? What do you see? 
It's all the same with different words"...

ice blue

I found some fashion of blustery ice blue.

Christian Dior Fall RTW 2011

I took some photos of the ice blue things I saw, outside my car window, as we drove past.

Do we ever really see the beauty of things around us?

  

My cousin's gorgeous Christmas tree.

Christian Dior Fall RTW 2011

For, I didn't realize how beautiful the state I once lived in was,

until I lived there no longer.

Every year I tell my cousin how exquisite her Christmas tree looks,
& every year she doesn't believe me.
When will she see it for herself?

My niece with her face in an ice blue bowl.

My nephew wearing an ice blue guitar,
drinking out of an ice blue cup.

Little me wearing ice blue, with my cousins.
I'm the one on my cousin's lap.
The same cousin that decorated
that striking ice blue Christmas tree.
