I’ve just been checking on Google, and I seem to be able to get away with describing most shades of blue as ‘topaz’. So here I am, during a lunchtime walk last week, glancing through the treetops at a topaz sky.

I”ll have to look up Topaz. For me it always meant my birthstone- a weak amber colour I wasn’t too fond of. Huge applause for your deployment of it here. 🙂 🙂 I think we may be set to reclaim those blue skies here this week. They’ve been a bit elusive lately. But I never mind sharing. Enjoy your walk today, Margaret!

Thanks, I agree that topaz is theoretically yellowish, but then it comes all over bluish. Whatever.

What a spirit-lifting shade of blue that is – just perfect for a slightly cloudy morning here. 🙂

You’re right, reduced pollution has led to wonderful sky which turns out to be blue. On the downside the greenhouse has been cold overnight. In answer to your question, we’re both fine and hope you still are.

A topaz sky? Love the word but I always thought topaz was yellow. Saying that we do get some fabulous yellow skies at sunset. When it’s not a blanket of cloud 😕

I absolutely agree. But Google it. Sure, amber-ish comes up, but then every colour of blue you can think of. And it suited me to have it blue today. So I did.

I like the photo but blue topaz is a new one on me! I also thought of topaz as being golden brown or amber.
