Shades of blue that is! It’s been so long since there was open water in the harbour and almost as long since it was a warm sunny day. The blues of river, harbour and sky make the spirit rejoice in the subtle differences.
It’s been too long.
Who knew it was possible to miss a colour so much?
A male mallard swims around in the river, dabbling for food, oblivious to the people stopping by to see him. There are various shades of blue
visible in different areas where he swims.
He is a living contrast to the scenic pigment.
Temperatures will be above zero this week. More blue is on the way. We can take it!

Apparently, the sap run has ended. It was an extended season this year. :)
Simply lovely. So glad spring is showing her face.
Such fine shades of blue, Marie. I love the pretty mallard, too. It won't be long for the fishermen to start their season, if I remember correctly from last year. :-)
I wear a lot of shades of blue. Many are darker blue or gray blue. I wish I could chose the color I wore from the colors in water.
Lovely to see the blue water and the mallard photos are so pretty.
It's so wonderful that Spring is here once more!
The mallard's a handsome fellow!
I miss those blues as well.
The photos of the ducks are spectacular!!
A lovely post and yes it is so nice to see blue again I agree. Have a good week Diane
How exciting Marie! I love seeing the blues in your world! So exciting to see color instead of drabness!!! That picture of the mallard with his beak open is amazing!!!!
Woo Hoo. I can feel your excitement and joy in this lovely post. And have never understood why depression can be tagged as 'the blues'.
I love those blues, they are so nice to see after a long winter.
So wonderful to see all the blue! The snow is almost totally gone from my yard. However still lots of snow in the mountains and flooding to the south.
Blue is often said to be a cold colour. Your pictures reveal that it can be warming too. Long may the blue remain overarching the scene.
Such a beautiful thing to see sparkle of light reflected in the water! I love all ducks I must say! They are so cute! Glad to see that all snow is gone!!
I love blue!
I'm glad you're warming up, though that still sounds awfully cold.
It was indeed, AC.
This week has been lovely Linda.
Next week the season starts again, Jan.
I love blue as well Barbara.
That mallard is a star, Mildred.
Spring across Canada was late this year for sure, Debra.
He is the star of the boardwalk, William.
That mallard makes photography easy, Catarina.
Thanks Diane.
That mallard photo was a lucky shot, Marilyn.
These blues have always made me happy, EC.
I am tired of all that white, Bill.
There is still a lot of snow and ice west of us but our snow is almost gone, Jenn.
I hope so too, John.
The sun and blue skies make me feel like anything is possible, Angela.
It was 12 C today and sunny, Danielle. It was gorgeous though the wind was cold.
Just marvelous.
Thanks Mage.
