Shades of Autumn - Purple

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge

Before I start with the photos, can I just say a great big thanks to Kristi, Rebecca and Alicia for choosing one of my photos from last week's Shades of Autumn as one of their top pictures, I was so chuffed because some seriously good photographers enter their images for this challenge and for one of mine to be chosen, well... speechless.   Anyway, needless to say I became ridiculously over-excited when I heard and had to be slapped by Pepper.  

Right then, on with the purple, not the easiest of colours to find.

  10. I wouldn't have thought of purple for fall either but the leaf really catches my eye. I'll have to look for purple colors in nature around here. Congratulations on your picture being chosen. Probably Pepper secretly enjoyed slapping you. :)

  13. Purple may not be the easiest color to find, but you sure made it look easy! Exquisitely rich photos! It's really hard for me to choose a favorite among them, but that second one is so dramatic - if choosing a favorite were absolutely required by some arcane blog commenting rule, that would be the one I'd go with. :-)

  14. I am so in love with the colour of the leaf in that last photo, and the beautiful simplicity of the whole composition.

    Congrats again on being chosen last week, and thanks so much for taking part in the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge!

I get many more views on my posts than comments, so please if you drop by, stop and say hello. Otherwise I'll start getting paranoid and neurotic, and worry that nobody likes me... sniff sniff...
