My question as a child was not about why the sky was blue, but why it could be blue up high, but be invisible by the time it reached the earth.   Shouldn’t we be enveloped in blue?  I had the pleasure of creating a Blue Skies mosaic bowling ball for the creator of Smiling Blue Skies Art Jewelry, which raises money to find an end to canine cancer.

I’ve had the Irving Berlin standard Blue Skies stuck in my head.  I found this lovely version by the jazz duo MINT:

    Hi Margaret – your blue skies mosaic ball is a marvel… I found mosaicing quite hard to do – especially the finishing off – but the results are spectacular… I’m enjoying listening to mint too. All the best for the rest of the #atozchallenge Reflex Reactions

    I was half expecting a picture of a beautiful sky – but found your lovely mosaic bowling ball and this lovely tune ! I haven’t heard it before – thanks for sharing 🙂
    Good luck with the challenge and looking forward to your posts.
