Turquoise

Turquoise is as ubiquitous to the Florida Keys as a Whiskey and Soda was to Ernest Hemingway. But then again, he also liked a good Daiquiri, Martini, Gin and Tonic, and Campari and Absinthe. Yum!

I've always loved the aquatic color. It reminds me of beautiful things: Tiffany bags filled with sparkle, Coastal living, mineral Hot Springs, peacock feathers, shallow waters teeming with life, and a stone with the curious moniker: Turquoise! 

 

It's all green. Follow my eyes...

The turquoise water is definitely eye-catching and so tropical in appearance. When I lived close to the Atlantic Ocean I never saw that color. Have a wonderful week!

I’m in a different shade of blue this week! Different temperature too. Feeling lucky to have seen both (you should add my shade too someday) …. Although I must say *have* seen a lake or two up there where you hang out when you’re not in Key West! …. Thanks for sharing the beauty and for hosting.

What a stunning water colour. I tend to not think of that for America - shows what I don't know!

The blue of the ocean/water is so soothing even though I'm not much of a beach person. Hope all's well with you. Stay safe.

It's been years since we went to the Keys, but it is on my list to revisit...but in safer times.

Aqua is always a soothing color to me. Love the telephone.

That first picture is just so darn pretty. All of them are great but that first one is my favorite.

That's one of my favorite colors, especially in the context of a tropical beach. That beer looks refreshing!
