Blog Prompt #1

“What is your favorite color, and why do you think it is your favorite?”

I've decided to attempt to cure my blogger's block by using prompts from now on. I'll probably be using either: a) mindbump OR b) plinky. If I decided to use a different blog prompter, I'll mention it. This one is from mindbump.

Ever since Celene asked me about what my favorite color was, I started wondering why it's blue, green, and white mixed into light aqua. I grew up around nature, camping and taking walks and learning about how beautiful our world really is. Yes, I like to be realistic and don't like to "run away from [my] problems", but I do consider myself a dreamer at the same time and would love to escape from the countless problems life keeps handing me from time to time. When I think of my favorite place to be, I think of a flat meadow, with flowers that only bloom in the marrow of springtime, in the middle of some mountainous forest, surrounded by towering pine trees. I used to see these types of meadows, when I'd be camping or taking a road trip with my aunt to see national forests. I'd be looking out the window indifferently, eyes weary from the view of trees and trees and trees, when we would drive by a small clearing, where the sun would shine on and the where the trees would make way for the grass. I ALWAYS wanted to just stop the car, race out to the meadow, and just prance around with the wind blowing through my hair, and the violet and red and yellow of the flowers dancing along with me. I always imagine this being the place where a mother bear would be with her two cubs playing with each other. Anyway... as I'd pass by a meadow like that, I would just stare at how gorgeous the abundant green shade of the grass was, and look up to see how beautiful the light blue sky is, dotted by cirrus clouds of white. Blue, green, and white remind me of how magnificent this earth is, with those majestic mountains where you can look the world in eye. I cry every time I recall images from camping trips, remembering how simply BEAUTIFUL it is to be out in the wild. I wouldn't mind living in a world where only shades of BGW existed.

Tell me this isn't beautiful.
