The Color Purple
Rich and regal, strong and saturated; purple has always been my favorite color.
Icy wisteria hanging in clusters.
Deep purple figs plucked from the trees and unavoidably squashed underfoot.
Shutters in a light shade of violet always capture my attention.
Ripening grapes thriving on the vines.
Amethyst tinted garlic, lush, juicy plums and heavy globes of eggplant.
Pale violet skies at sunset.
A glass at the end of the day. Santé!
Its presence is appreciated all year, but these last days of summer are infused with all shades of purple, violet and lavender. So gorgeous. Pin It

Ah such a beautiful post. Purple is my favourite colour too, and I appreciate these lovely purple gifts throughout the year as well
Beautiful. Thanks for the photos. Purple is my "signature color" in clothing, though perhaps not in décor. Loved the "glycines" when I was in France last April. Wisteria is, for once, perhaps a prettier word.
Well done! Those photos are so beautiful, I could cry. Missing France so much right now: thanks for sharing!
Great photos, that sky is stunning. Diane
Lovely pictures !!
I love purple.
(word verification is "dinge", possibly the opposite of purple!)
Gorgeous! I think this might be my favorite of your color photo posts so far.
Amazing photos, beautiful post!
Lovely!
