Purple

Do you have days that you are drawn to a certain color?  I do!  When my daughter was very young I would dress her in the same color I was wearing but not on purpose.  I usually didn't notice until the end of the day.  I guess it would be called a subconscious choice.  Color is so important, it can affect your mood.  Blue is a very calming color.  Have you ever noticed when you have been shut indoors a long time you get what I call sky hungry.  You actually need to see the sky.  The blue lifts you and is very reassuring.

Purple is the color for royalty.  I don't know about that but I love seeing purple and green together, I just swoon over it.  I read where it is rare in nature.  I suppose it is compared to other colors.  But it won't be long before the azaleas and wisteria are a glorious purple.

Bee-utiful!! Blue hyacinths with buzzing bee!

Enjoyed the beautiful warm spring like day today. I bought a few plants and am obsessing dreaming about planting flowers and shrubs.  I went by the garden center yesterday and found these gorgeous hyacinths in pink and purple. The purple is actually called blue hyacinth but there is nothing blue about it.  The bumblebees smelled my flowers quickly and brought friends.  While trying to get a good photo and playing with the flowers, the bees got angry with me.   They  started buzzing around my hairsprayed head!  I let them win but not before I got this shot.
