Violet to Blue

The human mind is a strange thing. What it chooses to remember is very fickle. Meetings, anniversaries, names - all forgotten. Obscure album tracks from albums never listened to, yet alone owned, remembered.The title to this post is the name of a Nik Kershaw (remember him? 1980's, short, fingerless gloves, big hair) album track. I read the review in Smash Hits, and remembered both the title and the story behind it (a girl called Violet dying of a drugs overdose). Now, 22 years later, I am rather tritely using it for a post about blue flowers. I've been playing with macro photography again, making use of the sunshine between the showers.

Incidentally, bumblebees (which, if you have read a previous post, are all called Delius) have a preference for blue and violet flowers, with violet being the most preferred. I like the fact that the researchers had to use 'naive' bees in their experiment.
