The Alpine Forget-Me-Not.
Myosotis alpestris
Photo Courtesy of MarthaThis really is the alpine version of the flower.
Forgive the poor quality photograph.
It was taken with a Point-n-Shoot which has no depth of field adjustment.
She photographed this flower high in the mountains.
Luckily, Martha got this shot. I got no photo at all.

I'm enjoying my vicarious Alsaska trip a lot. All the pix are well done, but I think the otter and the sea lion are my favorites. Congratulations on the life birds too.
Don't belittle Martha's P&S camera--that's a fine picture. I take all mine with one too.
Your pictures are wonderful. They jump off the page and make me wish that I were there. Thanks for commenting on my blog, and for the link. I've added you to my side bar, as well. I'll be back. You're blog is terrific!
Good job Martha. I thought the shot had great depth of field.
Super. I've always loved Forget-Me-Nots... My parents and their neighbors had a variety in their yards, but they also grow wild around here in Marin County.
I can remember as a child collecting a handful and then giving them to someone I loved -- I guess it was my earliest attempt at expressing love. (now I have a cat)
Your pictures are wonderful. I really enjoyed your blog. The color of this photo is terrific. Would you like to exchange links?
Wow, great Martha! I think this flower is my favorite...thanks for showing!
Beautiful, anyone who has seen them will know why they are called forgetmenots.. Love the foggy ship photo in the last post. Great shot.
Just a great shot with lots of scene depth and great colours.
Been checking the other photos and ... wow!
I will certainly add you to my FRIENDS TO VISIT.
Hello Martha,

have agood day, I ma ready for sleep here, its night here,
Nice meeting you and martha,
No apology needed! That photo is gorgeous! What a lovely shade of blue! Is it chemical or structural? (Have you read Doug Taurons latest post on Gossamer Tapestry?)
Kathie:
Check out this article. It explains why roses are red and violets are blue.

In a word, chemical in this case.
This is a really great blog. I love your photos. Thanks for stopping by and commenting at my place.
Your link for Kathie made me realize that structural and chemical colors are not mutually exclusive categories. If you isolate the pigment from most "blue" flowers, you will find that it's actually purple. Many of the colored compounds are pH indicators, as your link discusses. To get a true blue, as in the alpine forget me not, there is also a structural component. Thanks for broadening my thinking about this.
Again...I just want to say how wonderful the picture of the Alpine Forget-Me-Not is. I have never seen such beauty and clarity in a photo.
What a beautiful Blog!! Gorgeous pictures!
I really envy you the Alaska and Arctic Circle trip! Maybe we'll make it one day. But in the meantime we'll have to visit northern Texas' so far, in 5 years we haven't made it north of Huntsville.
