Today's challenge: Blue
My daughter likes to play with my phone, which results in random photos that she takes. Here's one that I played with a little to contrast the blue and reds:

- EVERY DAY I will post a theme throughout December and it's my hope that we can all participate. Do not feel intimidated if you're not a pro or if you simply have a phone to take pictures with. I'm in the same boat. Past participants (Let me know if you'd like to be removed or added):
I'm a huge watch guy. Seiko 5s are awesome. I have an Omega Speedmaster pro and a Oris Frank Sinatra, but I still wear a Seiko 5 I have all the time.
Seiko's are solid watches. Where did you buy it?
The part of me that thinks no grown man should ever wear shoes with colored shoelaces always cringes as I put these on, but then there's the part of me that really digs these shoes because his mom would never pay for the actual Chuck Taylor's as a kid but just the generics. I mean, come on, she had cigarettes to buy.
From my history textbook: Shown in blue are the advances of Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, pursuing his devastating "March to the sea" campaign during the Civil War. Grant was slowly wearing down Lee in Virginia, when Hood attacked Tennessee to keep Sherman busy. Hood was defeated in Nashville, and that's when Sherman decided to annihilate everything in his path (including Atlanta, which secured Lincoln's shaky re-election) and completely incapacitated the Southern war effort. After literally marching to the Atlantic ocean, Sherman went back North to meet Lee, but never had to. The last confederates facing Sherman surrendered just days after Lee surrendered to Grant, at the Appomattox courthouse in Virginia. There's some fuckin' blue for you, tng.
Blue stained with red. The victors get to write history, but if the south had won, Sherman would be remembered as an annihilator of homes, farms, crops etc. His job was to make the south want to end the war as soon as possible by causing insane distraction, via his scorched earth strategy. It worked. Cool interpretation of the challenge, thanks for sharing.
