Sitting on the beach looking out.
All I see is the blue sky with the beautiful blue water beneath it.
The reflection of the trees lying on the water. 
Quite sound all around, and nothing but maybe a cricket.
The full white moon laying on the surface of the blue water.
Warm night time air showing a small layer of fog lie across the water.
The blue water. 
 

Blue. When someone says blue, most people think of a blue sky or blue water. When asked to zoom in and describe the color blue, it gets hard. Blue is like the sky or the water, some say it represents freedom, intuition, or a feeling of calm. Although it may sound odd, blue can mean something different to everybody. Blue makes some people feel relaxed or soothed. For others, it makes them think of their trips to the beach in the summer. It might remind them of the painting ‘The Starry Night’ by Van Gough. Others may be more clinical, they think of blue as a primary color, the color that can be used to make every other color. They can see color as light, wavelengths, and the science of the eye. Others are even more rigid, knowing that technically there is no real color, it’s just a product of society to make sense of the world. Whatever it may be, it changes for every person. How do we even know that we all see the same color blue? 

 

I chose to build a boat out of tree bark, cardboard and popsicle sticks. I painted it blue because it reminds me of the ocean. I took a photo of my blue boat on the white snow because the snow reminds me of the waves in the ocean. Life is like a wave. You have ups and downs but you also have calm times and times when life is smooth. To me the boat on the snow symbolizes my life.
