A Blue Hue for Macro Flower Saturday
On the front lawn my husband and I planted a Colorado Blue Spruce 20 years ago. It is probably 25ft tall now and gets wider each year. Thankfully we did put it to the side of the lot and not in front of any windows. It seems to be very happy in its location despite being planted in sandy soil. I love the blue colour of the stems. I recommend it as a great specimen tree.

What a wonderful shot! I love it!! The blue colour makes the whole photo so soft!
All too often we take things for granted; just look at the intricate texture in this photo...amazing! We just have to take the time to slow down and look. Thank you!
That is a great photo, and the colour if fantastic.
Great photo! Blue spruce are such handsome trees!
Love the shot Val. Take care.
I hope the blue spruce we put in the backyard remains compact.
It's called 'Baby Blue' and has the same hue as yours. Love the colour and your shot Val.

I love it, what an amazing composition!
What an amazing image of your glorious blue spruce. We just sold our home and are leaving two behind. Hopefully we will plant a new one. It's astounding, they sure add to property value. Thanks for your visit and lovely post.
This is just so warm and inviting with that cool blue hue. Just gorgeous.
Pretty shade of blue tone. I like how it looks sort of frosty.
I love this shot and I LOVE this tree .. I would try to figure out where to put one in our front garden if I only could ! That blue is just so gorgeous and I think the cones that come from it are so pretty too !
Joy : )
So lovely!
Beautiful pine, and soft color! Seeing green is a joy..
We have been in our house 28 years on Dec. 1st. That first year we bought a living blue spruce tree from the boy scouts to use as a Christmas tree in the house.
We planted it outside in our very sandy soil and it is beautiful and always full of little birds who are protected by the sharp needles and tight branches.
Beautiful Colorado Spruce. Does it have purple cones. Such a pretty and tough tree. MB
Wow! What a gorgeous shot this is! So well done! Thanks for stopping by...
Stunning. Its just starting to snow here in Alberta today.
Love this.
Your spruce is so beautiful, Val! I adore them. We have a little one (three feet tall) in a container and I have agonized about where to plant it. But he's also no longer blue! Not enough sun, maybe?
What a gorgeous photo and color! ♥
