A rare blue - a photo on Flickriver

A rare blue

            I wasn't going to post anything for this week's challenge because, for some reason, I always struggle with the colour blue.  I can't really explain why because it's not that I don't like the colour.  Anyway, this is another one of those times when I've ended up posting what was intended to be a test shot.  So, Moderators, if it's not blue enough, I will understand and respect your decision.  At least I tried.  :)

The silver button dates back to the 1900s and is a little over ½" wide.  The background is a small print of a water colour painting of Earth.

For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Blue.
