Blue! But not the blues

The first blossom in the garden! I like how it seems to be floating there with no visible means of support.

I'm not sure if you can see it on this version of the photo, but in the full sized version you can clearly see the water drops magnifying the texture of the petal.

What the heck, here's a blow up of that you will want to look at on something bigger than a phone screen. The blue petals are about 1 cm long.

Somehow, the blue of this water barrel does not come across in this photo. I'm not sure if it's the intense morning light or if it just needs to have the winter dust washed off. It does, however, show the texture.

Normally when someone says they're feeling blue, it means they are sad or depressed. But this is such a cheerful happy blue blossom I was cheered up just seeing it.
