Yo, listen up here's a story
About a little guy
That lives in a blue world
And all day and all night
And everything he sees is just blue
Like him inside and outside


Blue his house
With a blue little window
And a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
Cause he ain't got nobody to listen to


I'm blue
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di

These are the lyrics from the song Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65 and one of my favorite songs.

Living at the coast I am so lucky, as I have blue all around me. I got the blue from the sky, and the blue from the ocean. I don't have to look far to find the color blue.

For this contest, I am sharing 3 blue images I've taken with my phone and the stories behind them with you.

The first image is of a bottle with a blue rope around it. What makes this bottle so special is that we call it "Dreams." Inside the bottle is a scroll with a written message glued to a piece of newspaper. "Believe, dreams can come true."
The date on this piece of newspaper is the day when we moved to the coast, the day that our dream came true.

Inside are shells that we picked up on the beach. The lid is also decorated with a shell.

The second image reminds me of my mother. It is three little pots with pot plants in each. My mother was a floral arrangement judge and also gave classes. She always told us that when you work with flowers or any art, you never do it in even numbers. It must always be 3 flowers or 5 flowers, 3 pots or 5 pots. It is something I will never forget.

The day I bought these pots, I could not help but think of my dear mother. It had to be 3 blue pots.

The third image shows two blue bottles of Prime. There is a good story to this. Prime is a drink craze that took the world by storm in 2022. It was launched by two YouTubers, Logan Paul and KSI. It is a sports or "hydration" drink. The only way we could buy it in South Africa was to order it online at a cost of R500 (South African Rand) or +/-172 STEEM per bottle. Then one of the supermarkets broke the news last month that they were making it available in South Africa for only R40, or +/- 14 STEEM per bottle.

My stepson made us crazy! The day of the launch, we queued at the supermarket in the early hours of the morning. He was convinced that he was going to make some money by reselling it. Each shopper was only allowed to buy two of each of the three flavors. Between the three of us, we got him more than 18 bottles to sell.

Business at the school was good for my stepson until the school decided, "No more." Prime is not suitable for children. Now he is stuck with the stock he has left, as his dad also decided that he is not allowed to drink it. In the process he is learning valuable business lesson.

Every time I walk into the kitchen, these two bottles stare at me and put a smile on my face. What we won’t do for our children.
