Is exposed in the sunshine, developed with running water, the result is the beautiful color tone, the &#8220;Prussian blue&#8221;.\u00a0Photograms of this kind allow a very fine representation of floral structures &#8211; as a symbiosis a gift from the sun, blue sky and botanical beauties.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ah, so, so lovely&#8230; all of it!<\/p>\n<p><em>{Blue pieces found via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/lisacongdon\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lisa Congdon on Pinterest<\/a>}<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh my.
