In the purple

We have been away in Melbourne most of the week work-working, but on most days walking to work and back so able to capture some of the life and art of Melbourne.

I found myself drawn to the purples I saw there, and on return home, so here is a collection.

You can't walk in Fitzroy without taking in walls and walls of graffiti - mostly stylish rather than ugly.

And then there's the yarn-bombing - plenty of it all over the place and in some very amusing places.

This isn't just purple but the purple did catch my eye.

And today we are home on the mountains where it is still hot and sunny.

Welcomed home by orchids, the first we grew. the second we were given.

And as part of the garden harvest - purple eggplants/aubergines. Looking forward to them becoming something else.  Plenty of cherry guavas too which will become jelly, which is purple when it is done.

It's back into the studio with a couple of jobs this week, so I shall hope to keep you posted.
