When I saw purple on the list of colors to find for the Shades of Autumn photo challenge, I was concerned that I wouldn't have anything. Most purple things in Western Pennsylvania withered and faded months ago. But after keeping my eyes open, I was pleasantly surprised with what I was able to find this fall.
Like these flowers outside our local public library ...
(Photo taken a few weeks ago when my good friend, Laura, and I were on a photo walk downtown.)
Or these withering flowers on my hillside ...
(Photo taken on Halloween day.) Kim Klassen's Granny's Cupboard texture added.
Or these flowers outside a local store that I was surprised to see still hanging on ...
(Photo taken yesterday.)
I noticed these flowers at my boys' school today when I stopped in ...
so we went back up this evening to photograph them ...
along with these shrubs that are a gorgeous shade of plum ...
I couldn't decided which view I preferred, so I included them both. :)
Lastly, my daughter, Keira, has this purple robe that she pulls out when the weather cools off.
Photo of the day - November 4 - ISO 200, f/5.3, 1/160s, 18-105mm lens on Nikon D3100
And she agreed to model it for me.
So I guess purple wasn't so difficult to find after all. :)

Also, just a reminder that I started my own photo link up party this week called Wild & Wonderful Wednesday. You can still link up this week and I'd love it if you'd play along next week. The rules are very simple - link up a photo (or photos) that you think are wild and/or wonderful. Easy peasy!

What a pretty picture of Keira!
Goes to show you that Western PA isn't all brown and cruddy at this time of year if you really look.
That last photo is amazing! Barefoot Mama
