Is this normal?

Have a 2006 6.0 powerstroke with 624 miles on it. I noticed that when I first start it up in the mornings or after an extended period of setting that it will puff some smoke out the tailpipe. It clears up in just seconds. Best I can tell, the smoke is a blueish cast. Is this normal for the diesel?

I have 2006 6.0 PSD with 3500 miles. I have never seen any smoke of any color.

IMO a puff of blue smoke on cold starts is normal- Usually more noticeable when the truck is in the garage (tight/enclosed space).
