Every Monday I post a photo featuring the colour blue aimed at beating the Monday morning blues.

I am joined by some of my friends on Twitter and it would be great if you joined in too. Just search for @wilburstravels

At first glance, you could be forgiven for thinking these shots were from the Caribbean rather than the Outer  Hebrides off Scotland. It looks completely idyllic!
