Sally at Smiling Sally host Blue Monday. Please visit her for lots of blue posts!
This picture was made in Washington DC at the Smithsonian. Do you know what it is?
Here's a much better one from the internet.
Did you guess the Hope Diamond? This room was the most crowded one in Washington when we visited the Smithsonian Natural Science Museum.

I guessed correctly! I've seen that diamond in the museum. :o)
You asked what kind of camera I have... It's a Canon Power Shot SX10IS. It's not fancy-fancy. Just fancy to me! lol I DO love it though.
Yes it is gorg! I so want to go to Washington...I went when I was young but I want to go to it again....especially the Holocaust Museum. Have you been there?
I have actually been there and seen that. It's so big that it is unbelievable. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
I remember seeing it when we visited the Smithsonian as a newly married couple 19 years ago. It took my breath away and still does! Wouldn't you love to have it hanging from your neck??? Of course, you'd probably get whiplash! :)
I love that museum, but haven't been there for several years. All the Smithsonian museums are such wonderful places to visit. And that's certainly a beautiful blue for Blue Monday!
That is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Happy Blue Monday!
Gorgeous shade of blue! sigh
GM Diane..I guessed this one right..doesn't it have a curse that goes with this stone?? I will have to check this out..Great BLUE post girl!! hugs and smiles Gloria
It really is quite stunning but the curse alone would make me "glance" and walk the other way, lol!
I'd love to visit the Smithsonian one day...perhaps one day.
Enjoy your day and thanks for sharing!
I have a very vague memory of seeing that once. I used to live in Maryland when I was little and we took a school field trip to the Smithsonian. Oh, I wouldn't mind having that hanging around my neck!!!!
take care,
Dawn
Gorgeous, Diane! It's amazing, isn't it?
Happy Blue Monday!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Diane :)

Happy New Year!!

I love it! I can only imagine wearing something like that.

Wha an unbelievable story!
Thank you for sharing!
Have a great day!
It's so pretty isn't it? I love the Smithsonian Museums in DC!
Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is being loaned to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam until June, Diane, so you have to wait until then to come and see it in MoMa. Hope I get to see you when you visit NYC! Please keep in touch
Hugs, Pat
I love the Smithsonian. Have only been there and seen it once. Hope to go again one day. Thanks for posting Diane. Happy Blue Monday!
Just gorgeous!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Oh Diane, that is a terrific blue Monday post. Why didn't I think of that? Smiling BIG. You are so smart. LOL It is so beautiful but they say it brings bad luck. I wonder.
Hugs...Jeanne
I saw the Hope Diamond many years ago when I chaperoned a visit to the Smithsonian. Thanks for posting it. I had forgotten how beautiful it is. Happy Blue Monday!
Sweetie

Yes, I guessed the Hope Diamond. Isn't it the most gorgeous thing ever! I'd love to see it in person. I missed it somehow when I was visiting the Smithsonian a few years back.

Wow, I don't think I ever knew that the Hope diamond was BLUE! That is some gorgeous rock.
Hi Diane
Its gorgeous isn't it? I've seen it also a few years ago when we made the drive to Washington D.C. Such a beautiful blue. I have a picture too I'll have to be a copycat on a Blue Monday if mine looks as blue as yours.
Thank you for sharing this beauty.
have a lovely day

I guessed it right, too!!! I'm off to go read up on it. Jacob would love the smithsonian - I'd never get him out of there....Robyn
That's beautiful! I would love to see it in person, and maybe around my neck! LOL
I did get the chance to see the Crown Jewels in London and they are outstanding!
Wow Diane, I enjoyed this post, I've never seen the Hope Diamond!
