Two baskets filled with blooming pansies hang on either side of a lantern-style lamppost next to a wooden window covering set in an adobe wall. Above the wall is a blue sky.
I’ve posted this before, but the pansies work nicely for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforPurple

From a high pass along the Möðrudalsleið in northern Iceland, a vast highland landscape unfolds — ash-toned hills rolling into an open plain, dotted with low volcanic ridges and distant peaks dissolving into a cool blue haze. Thin ribbons of green hint at hidden watercourses, while heavy, layered clouds drift low overhead, casting shifting light across the quiet, windswept expanse of the Icelandic Highlands.
The wind never settles here and your thoughts grow lighter with it — drifting, softening, gently losing themselves in the vast.

A vivid macro photograph of a deep purple flower petal covered in glistening water droplets. A large, crystal-clear droplet sits near the tip of the petal, magnifying and reflecting a bright green floral shape inside it. Smaller droplets are scattered across the velvety surface, catching light and adding sparkle. The background is softly blurred with a dreamy mix of green and purple tones, creating strong contrast and drawing focus to the sharp detail of the petal and droplets.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforPurple & my love for a wee #macro rain drop had me rummaging through the archives & tada! - I'm sure I have shared a much more close up look at the main water drop before but not this more elongated capture of the petal with its purple rain😊

Comic-style figure looks with back facing outward looks over his shoulder, brow arched. Beside him is wildstyle graffiti backed by a purple skyline on a black background. At the top of the wall is silver wire meant to prohibit trespassers. Behind this wall is an industrial looking blond brick wall.

My thoughts, too. My DSLR is more than 10 years old, so I’m hoping to find a lens at a decent price from someone who has upgraded their system.

The return of migratory birds like the White-Crowned Sparrow will be met with spring flowers!

Thank you, Sabine!

This place was so beautiful
Thanks!
Cool flower. Do you know what it is?
Beautiful photo, Robyn.
I also feel the lack of a macro lens. I recently looked at prices, though, and 😳.

Purple tendrils radiate from the center of a flower, stretching out over white petals. The back end of a bee is visible, its head buried in the flower’s center.

Rows of mounded lavender plants form a grid in front of trees and farm buildings. A mountain rises behind the farm. Cottony clouds float in a blue sky.

Kicking off #AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforPurple with this stylish Purple Polyester Pantsuit, circa 1974. Too bad you can’t get the full effect (the pants were the same fabric)

Thank you, Robyn! For once, a perfect spring day!
Life imitating art.
A grist mill from Missouri’s pioneer days sits in a park setting. The mill is made of split logs, with wooden roof shingles, and a stone foundation. There is a water wheel to the side. The building is behind a tall tree which is just beginning to leaf. In the background are more trees with the tender green leaves of spring. Green grass stretches out in the foreground, and above is a bright blue sky.

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.

Thank you, Rina. I’ve enjoyed your butterfly week!
I love it when you manage to sneak around the front of a butterfly and catch it nicely backlit. For some reason you can't do that with birds...
Here's a perky Sooty Copper for Rina's #ButterflyWeek. Have a great weekend, all you butterfly fans....
