This pink monkey photobombed a purple dog the other day, so here’s his shot!

The last time I saw a dog with these kind of markings, it was after I’d eaten a cactus.

Sunday Stills Photo Challenge: Violet

Published on April 19, 2021 by Russell Smith10 Comments

Thank you to Cee Neuner for alerting me to this challenge! I’m afraid I’m going to use some of the same subjects for this particular challenge that comes to us by Terri Webster Schrandt of Second Wind Leisure Perspectives.

These wild violets have just a hint of purple in their blossoms.

This iris has two shades of a violet nature.

Our wisteria is just starting to bloom. When it become full-fledged, it is a stunning sight to behold.

One more for the road…

I came across Purple Dog just yesterday. In the background, you can see his friend, Pink Monkey.

Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Birds Seen in the Last Two Weeks

You can hardly accuse me of being a master of bird photography. As you can see, my best shots come when the subject is a statue; however, I’d feel remiss if I didn’t participate in this wonderful photo challenge. I’m a firm believer in the adage, “Practice makes perfect,” so I’ll keep trying.

Bird Weekly Photo Challenge – Birds Seen in the Last Two Weeks is brought to us by Lisa Coleman whose blog is called Our Eyes Open.

Sculpture Saturday is hosted by Susan Kelly of No Fixed Plans. I found this little fella in a forgotten corner of the attic. He immediately demanded that I take his picture.
