Weekly Photo Challenge: Purple

Posted on July 27, 2012 | 25 Comments

This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is PURPLE. I like the color and I had no problem finding photos in my archive that were predominately purple.

Of course, there were flowers:




And a few of sunsets, like this one:

And other things found at the beach:

And abstracts. These were from the city’s attempt to cover up graffiti on two overpasses:

And I had to include the newly painted wall in my dining room:

You can see other purple flowers that I’ve posted before here, here, here, here, here, and here.

    Lots of great shots – I just love the single violet, and also the first graffiti abstract!

      I don’t know that I ever noticed the inside of violets before this spring when I started photographing them. I am amazed at how complex such a simple looking flower can be. I had fun with that abstract. I have no clue what was originally under that paint or why there were three distinct colors in such small patches.

    Fantastic wall! Also love the city cover-up purple.

      Sometimes I think the city’s attempt to cover up graffiti only brings more attention to it, sometimes with amazing results! Thanks for stopping by & commenting.

    You obviously love the color purple. 🙂
    I think my favorite shots are the lily pad because it just feels so wet and wonderful, and also the sunset for it’s minimalism.

      I didn’t realize that I had so many purple shots until I started looking. But, I love photographing flowers and many of them are purple! I’m still not sold on the purple wall in my dining room, but was persuaded by a designer-type to do so. I do love how the color changes throughout the day, from an undeniable purple (which is a bit jarring) to a chocolate brown (much more relaxing).

    Love the first few shots, very delicate and beautiful!

    Wonderful purple photos for the challenge. Quite a collection and framing them in purple makes it seem like a gallery. I didn’t have that much purple in my archives but tons of red. Interesting, what we are drawn to. I enjoy following your blog.

      Thanks, Ruth. I realized this morning that I wasn’t consistent with the color and width of the frames, but still, I think that it helped to group them. Only the last one was intentionally different — the shade of purple was just too gross next to that picture. The wall photographed but more yellow than it is IRL. The top half of the wall is really a taupe instead of the yellow white in the photo.

      I’m glad you enjoy what I post here.
