Initially the name blue quarry was inspired by the stone quarry that borders my home. That once active, dusty quarry is now filled with water and has become a peaceful and scenic, blue oasis to many species of graceful water birds, so the name seemed meaningful and worthy of being added to my list. But the list was long and nothing really stood out, until I researched the literal and symbolic meanings of the words. As soon as I got to this step, I knew I had found my name:

BLUE /blo͞o/
adjective: a symbol of wisdom, confidence and intelligence.

QUAR·RY /ˈkwôrē,ˈkwärē/
noun: an abundant source or supply; any object of search or pursuit
verb: to obtain from as if from a quarry

At the heart of it all, my site is intended to be a source of inspiration and information (and ultimately, happiness) so the name Blue Quarry was born.
