Life in Colour

To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.

This month we will be looking for Purple. A secondary colour made from red and blue, though you can find many different shades of purple. Try to stay clear of violet though as that will be making its own appearance. Although found in nature in shades of crocuses, lilacs, and irises look for the bruised colours in a sunrise or sunset, an indigo sea, a full moon in an inky sky. The darkness of a red wine, a rich velvet curtain or a starling’s wing.

And although a little late, I shall dedicate this one to World Bee Day.

There’s a website for World Bee Day that tells you all about the importance of bees and the essential role they play in the production of our food.

Are there any unusual purples in your world?

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

    1. Quite! No foxgloves in the garden this year (well small plants, but they won’t flower until next I think) but lots of lupins in bud and the bees love them. If we have any bees, not seen much sign of any since April.

    1. There are so many foxgloves that grow wild around here. They are beautiful flowers and bees love them.
