Purple Haze

June 12, 2015 by Barb 13 Comments

It seems that when I was choosing flowers and pots for my garden and deck this year I gravitated towards so much purple that I dubbed my Instagram feed “Purple Haze”.

So today when I was writing this post, and entering a keyword for SEO purposes, up popped “purple haze lyrics” … hmmmm … oops, I have to admit I didn’t know (or remember) the Jimi Hendrix song, so that led me down a cyber path whilst I did some research … very interesting. Serendipitously I named the following photo “let’s dance”.

OK, how about “let’s hang” …

Here’s the soap dish, on the back of the green door, served with wild cranberry florets and cranesbill geranium …

This is my interpretation of “the human touch” for The Studio On-Line” … me, myself, and I at the potting bench … I have quite a few more ideas for this prompt, swirling around in my head, it’s just too much fun …Purple Haze, Soap Dish, Keeping With the Times

Check out my “purple haze” post on IG …

I wonder if it's time to move on from the purple haze? ??

    Sigh!! Double sigh! I for one will never tire of purple or lavender colors and many of my flowers fall into that color palette also. I’m very much enjoying your purple haze post. My lavender just bloomed this week and I’ll be doing a photo shoot with the wee bunch I have. These photos are so gorgeous Barb!! Love the simplicity of the first lavender on white. Have a great weekend.

    So much wonderful purple! I just picked some lavender and my fingers still smell good. All your images are beautiful and creative. I love all the elements in your soap dish image and the ‘dancing’ lavender are too cute. I really need to explore Instagram better, I have one picture right now on my account. :)

    So nicely done, Barb.
    Our lavender is just beginning to bloom, and it looks like it will be a good year for them.
    You have a wonderful weekend!
