The iconic National Park region of New South Wales is called the Blue Mountains. As you can see in the photo, for Becky’s July blue squares, they aren’t exactly blue, but got the name from a fascinating fact, involving other blues…
The range is covered in eucalypts, or gum trees, many of them Blue Gums (seen in the foreground). In the heat, they emit a mist of eucalyptus oil which refracts the light, causing a blue haze at a distance. (www.sydney.visitorsbureau.com.au/regions/blue-mountains.html). You’ll find most mountains/hills in coastal Australia will appear blue at a distance for this reason.

A lovely photo. It’s a beautiful place, regardless of whether there is clear sky, rain or mist. So many great trails to wander.

It was Elaine over at I used to be indecisive, and actually think Brian at Bushboy Blog shared one earlier last week too. They are so stunning, and work perfectly for blue squares.
