Photo Hunters ---- Purple


Welcome to Saturday’s Photo Hunt by Tn. Chick. The theme this week is purple. This should have been a very easy one for me. Purple is my favorite color and half my closet is in some shade of purple. Put, I actually planned to post several photo’s of some purple houses I found during our travels.

Regrettably, my PC crashed this week. I was not as careful as I should have been about backing up my files so all my photo’s are now in Limbo waiting for our local computer whiz to have time to try an retrieve them. Only time will tell.

So I had to go back to some old CD’s looking for some purple. These shots are all several years old but I like them and hope you do too.

First is my Mother dressed for a costume party as a bunch of grapes. By the time this was taken a few of her grapes had been picked, err, I mean popped.


Next is some purple flowers I found at the botanical gardens in San Diego. I had never seen them before or since. They look like cabbage to me. Can anyone name them for me?

  6. I would freak if balloons popped all around me! But I love the color!

    Yes, those plants are a decorative cabbage. I've never seen such a lovely lavendar before.

    I did purple, too. I hope you have time to see! http://newyorktraveler.net/photo-hunters-purple/

  8. Oh, I hope you get your photos back! When our PC crashed we were able to retrieve most of them, but some of them were irretrievably damaged.

    I absolutely love the photo of your Mom as a bunch of grapes! What a creative costume.

  12. I could be terribly wrong but I'm pretty sure that the plant is called Decorative Flowering Kale.

Thank you for stopping by my site. Without your visits there would be no incentive to continue posting. So, having you here and reading your comments is the highlight of my day.

I regret that time does not always allow me to return visits to everyone who stops by, but, I will certainly do my best to get to everyone. I will definitely answer any questions you leave me.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
