Project 64: Week 16 - Pacific Blue

I was so excited to see this week's color because I knew exactly what photograph I wanted to use!








Here is my take on Pacific Blue.







This is the front of our grain truck. I have lots of happy childhood memories that include a grain truck. Watching the combine dump the barley or wheat or milo into the truck, playing in the grain after the truck was filled (only to discover that I'm apparently allergic to barley and break out hives!), driving do the grain elevator with my dad to sell the grain. It's funny how an old piece of farm equipment can hold so many memories (and be the perfect shade of blue!)





Check out the other entries at Project 64 and at Saturday Snapshot!



And, as a complete unrelated sidenote, I have a video that I want to share with you. If I had seen it before last night, I would have totally posted yesterday. Anyway, I just thought it was a perfect reflection for Good Friday....and I am so thankful that Sunday's coming! Have a blessed Easter weekend!
