There's a reason I shy away from swirls! LOL. Red(ish), blue and white ones have been getting my goat forever!
First is an old sunlight photo I took with my Alleys in it. Second is a badly lit photo I just took with the Alleys on top and the Ravenswoods in the tray below. It appears my Alleys have some purple tones in the blue ribbons that I didn't notice in person.
In hand I still like my Alley blues in comparison with Jeremy's marble, but the orange ribbons are a lot more different than I had wanted to admit to myself. Pictures are forcing me to be honest about it. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
