True Colours Thursday - TURQUOISE

After randomly selecting this weeks colour, all I could initially think, was that, I didn't have a single piece of TURQUOISE in my crystal/rock collection.
Then, I started looking around me.

TURQUOISE is more common in our lives than we think.
Without, these batteries, I'd never take any photographs...
Beanz, that meanz Heinz, give me energy to blog...
Dreamingspires has lots of TURQUOISE cars too.
This is the shiny one that gave me my great Odd Shot of the church window reflection ...
And, 'window shopping' on the same day, throw up this striking silk dress - was very tempted...
Everyone is welcome to join in this weekly photo meme.
You can even, simply be wordy on the colour of the week, if photography isn't your thing.
Just, PLEASE leave me a Comment to say that you have participated, to aid visiting by my-self & others.
Rinkly Rimes, has already done so ie comment on an earlier post - only recently found out that she joined in last Thursday too; her verse on BLACK to be found HERE, is well worth a look, I particularly enjoyed reading it, because of course, know the pier mentioned & photo'd well.
Also, would like to welcome on board today, two of my favourite Airedales & long standing blog friends, Maggie & Mitch.
N.B.
A list [with links] of ALL previous 'True Colours Thursday' players can be found in my side bar.
And, next weeks colour is PINK - feel pretty!

What a lovely idea for a meme. This just happens to be my favourite colour. May I join in please? I've got a lot to say about pink!

Thanks for dropping by my blog - if only because it led me to yours! You commented on me reading my story out loud! You maybe interested in my poetry site where I read all my pieces. If you click on my name you should, in theory, find yourself there.

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

How is this played? Do I just post everything I can find in Pink for the next true colour post? It seems interesting but am afraid that we might not be committed enough.

Hi Blue,

Ours is up now. I wasn't sure what to post with this week but i quite like it when you have to have a look around a bit for a colour.

I like your choices, that car is lovely.

Thanks for starting this meme up, i love it. :-)

I was surprised to find so many turquoise items to choose from. I thought it would be a difficult color, but it was easy.

I LOVE the dress. I think it would go well with my turquoise necklace. Who would have though turquoise BEANZ!

Lily Hydrangea said...

Love your turquoise pics! I've never seen batteries that color, though you are right about this color being all around us.
Thanks for this great meme Blue.
; )

Phew, this week was a toughie.....couldn't find a tin of Heinz beans in my cupboard, I see you managed! We had fun though, photographing things from around the house :o)
With 2 teenage girls and 2 girl dogs in the house, next week should be a doddle!
Beautiful dress, you should have treated yourself!
