Sandy’s Purple challenge was like therapy because with each photo, I found myself questioning the very notion of purple.
Is this purple? Where does purple end? Is this more pink, lavender or blue than purple? Why do I see a purple haze, or filter, on the picture even if there is no real purple in sight?
I noticed how there is purple in a late sunset and in so many flowers. Purple can be invisible, until you start looking for it, and then it’s everywhere.

You are right Snow. Pure purple may be unusual in nature but the many tones of blue and red hover on the edges of purple. Great selection of photos.

The pansies at least had a very purple center, although it looks quite dark in that particular photo!

Beautiful photos. I love the color purple, it’s my wife’s favorite color. Lately we’ve been getting spectacular orange sunsets – I think its because of the wildfires bring int eh western US that fill the sky with a hazy look.

Lovely purple galleries. That fish scene is special. For my post I first need to establish how purple differs from violet… But I suppose everything goes.

Yes, I too was pondering purple, violet, lilac and lavender! 😀 And ended up posting pink and blue, too. Like a purple rainbow of sorts?

Lovely photos and lots of purple everywhere. I love the top three images and the bottom one particularly. I almost used that same kind of orchid in my post, but left it out at the last minute!
