“When a person goes down to his field and sees (for the first time) a ripe fig or a ripe cluster of grapes, or a ripe pomegranate, he feels great joy & gratitude & binds a reed-grass ribbon around the fruits and says, ‘These are the first fruits of my garden…'” (Bikkurim 1:1)

*** Blue – a study –
Why is the sky blue?
The white light emitted by the sun consists of seven colors, and each color has its wavelength and frequency. Red light has the longest wavelength, while violet light has the shortest one.

Sky Blue – in history.
A quote – “the turban of the merchant must be sky blue.”

Crayola crayons only produced light blue crayon sin 1958.

Blue Celeste – is sky blue.

King Louis IX of France, known as Saint Louis (1214–1270), became the first king of France to regularly dress in blue. This was copied by other nobles.

Paintings of the mythical King Arthur began to show him dressed in blue.

The coat of arms of the kings of France became an azure or light blue shield, sprinkled with golden fleur-de-lis or lilies.
Blue had come from obscurity to become the royal color.

Light blue is often reported as the color of the visible light coming off of a source when ionizing radiation is released during a nuclear chain reaction.

The signature “light blue glow” of Cherenkov radiation seen in nuclear reactors is a result of the constant particles and photons being ejected out of the reactor core into the water medium around it.

The national flags of Argentina, the Bahamas, Botswana, Fiji, Guatemala, Honduras, Kazakhstan, Micronesia, Palau, Somalia, and Tuvalu all have light blue as a dominant color.
