#SundayPixPurple I have to share it, despite my hatred for the creator. It's purple and funny.

Some idiot wearing a Purple Haze paisley shirt from the Pretty Green Hendrix collection, with long shorts, yellow, red and blue socks and pink desert boots to finish. Pretty much guarantees I'll have a seat to myself on the bus.
I'm not sure if I should be encouraging such levels of idiocy for #SundayPixPurple, but I hate the thought of being lost in a crowd.

This lil guy was so excited about the book he was holding and couldn't wait to start reading it. I caught him just as he was sitting down.

A close-up shot of a common Carder bee getting hammered on nectar from the flowers of a Bush Vetch (Vicia sepium), which is a species from the pea and bean family. Taken with iPhone's portrait mode, which 'interprets' depth of field in its own weird and fascinating way.
Another shot of a common Carder bee (originally I thought it was a Tawny Mining Bee, but they're a bit darker), slurping every drop of nectar from early-flowering Bush Vetch. The bee is pretty hairy, which is why I mistook it for its Tawny Mining cousin, which also fly early season (as early as March).

A sea of purple Bell heather (Erica cinerea) stretches off to the horizon on the West Yorkshire moors. Above, blue skies and some encroaching cloud. There are 857 varieties of heather, with lots of Bell, Ling, and the, erm... erm... the forgotten one, growing around here. Worryingly, there's been heather flowering pretty much all through winter and spring, and it's already starting to become abundant well ahead of time. That said, there is a winter heather, which means it either flowers in winter or it's white in colour.
A wall of purple flowering bell heather clings to a hillside in the many steep, crumpled valleys of West Yorkshire. A solitary streak of cloud drifts overhead against a vivid blue sky, with a tree just poking over the hill-top.
One of my favourite shots I've taken since moving here. I'd headed up to the moors to spend the day following my nose and encountered this flock of sheep. They were on the path ahead of me, and when they spotted me they all wandered off into the grass and heather. Every one is looking directly at the lens. They're surrounded by long moorland grass, with patches of purple heather showing. Above, mottled clouds and a blue sky.
More purple Bell heather, this time lining the edge of a reservoir not far from Jerusalem Nature Reserve, West Yorkshire. Rolling green hills can be seen in the distance, with a flotilla of l'il fluffy clouds scudding overhead.
A few moors for #SundayPixPurple and #CrapWordplay Heather, aka, Heath. And now I'm wondering if that influenced the naming of Heathcliffe in Wuthering Heights, as these are the very moors that inspired the book.
I've still failed to stumble across Kate Bush though.
