photo hunt - purple
The theme for the week's Photo Hunt is purple so here goes
This is an opium poppy. Perhaps more mauve than purple but near enough
Both are stunning photos! Happy weekend :)
ReplyDeleteJams, you have excelled even your high standards tonight. The top pic is, for me, your best ever!
