Just a selection of photos today to link with Astrid's Photo Scavenger Hunt with the subject
The Colour Purple
And apart from the fact that it is the title of one of my all time favourite books, it is also one of my favourite colours.

While not technically purple, the bluebells at the bottom of our garden are just starting to bloom and in this picture they look purple. We'll be heading up to the bluebell wood shortly - they are divine. I love this time of year. |

| I also love getting a chance to see the beach huts along the South East coast of England - we were waiting to board the ferry at Harwich and enjoying fish and chips along the beach when we spotted these - several purple ones in the midst of the others. I always want to know who owns them and what they do there - apart from obviously turning up in murder mysteries :) |

| Such an unusual shade for a tulip |

This bridge is in the north of Germany across the Rhine - I thought it was spectacular lit up in purple |

My friend Doris in Scotland loves purple - she is rarely to be seen wearing anything except it or turquoise when she is on stage. I loved these hydrangeas in her house a few years ago. And finally my friend Belinda has had her shop painted this week, ready for opening up again at the end of the month. And you guessed it .... it's purple! She's Australian lol. And it will be covered in murals and quotes from Rostrevor Poetic Action which has signs all over the town. I'll show you an update when that's finished. Her shop is called Good Craic Gifts and Souvenirs and showcases local artists with lots of handmade stuff and a small art gallery.  I'm joining in today with Astrid for the weekly Scavenger Photo Hunt. You can go directly to the link to check out the other photos HERE. |
Another purple lover .. there seem to be a fair few of us about. I definitely would call the bluebell a shade of purple ... more of the bluey purple than the red. Love the beach huts photo too ... they are always so photogenic. x
ReplyDeleteThey just look so special and mysterious :)
DeleteHow lovely to see an English Bluebell even if it looks purple. Beach huts are a brilliant idea for purple and it will be interesting how your friends' Good Craic Gifts and Souvenirs shop looks like when she has finished decorating it. Her site looks interesting too.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really cool wee shop and she's been working really hard during lockdown to get ready for opening next week but her online shop is fully stocked.
DeleteBeautiful flowers and I love the beach huts. Purple is indeed a gorgeous color.
ReplyDeleteThe royal colour - your photos would be great in this hunt Inger
DeleteI too love beach huts; they certainly are not cheap to buy! Your friend's shop looks very interesting but it's a bit to far for me to travel to, LOL. I applaud her choice of paint colour for the shop. Nothing wrong with purple!
ReplyDeleteLOL. it was a brave choice :)
DeleteAbsolutely great plethora of purple. I too love bluebells & beach huts & I thought of them too. So you think we are a "bright bunch"?(lol). Is your friend's shop in Ireland or Oz? The bridge photo was a clever find & all the flowers are gorgeous. Take care, stay safe & hugs.
ReplyDeleteShe's in Ireland Susan - been here for about 8 years - originally from Canberra.
DeleteSuch a pretty array of purples - one of my favorite hues. It's always a delight seeing your photos and glimpsing into your world.
ReplyDeleteThose bluebells are definitely a lovely shade of purple! The other flowers are beautiful too. What fun beach huts and your friend's shop looks nice and bright in purple. She's got some lovely things in there, I noticed your CD too! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDoris sounds like my Mum! She rarely wears anything except those colours! Love this selection of gorgeous purples!
