Following our delayed Spring, I was happy to see bluebells come up in our tiny garden. They all grew tall and handsome and I made a photographic study of some using a diopter (magnifying) lens. This close, the little lilac-blue flowers seemed angelically alive and some of the photos captured their blue haze (something like an aura perhaps). They reminded me of the association of the colour blue with heaven and also dreams. Also the colour of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s cloak and all that that beholds, so it is believed.
