Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: pinkish purple

I can't remember when I took this photo, but I used my old Olympus C750UZ and at that time I was having to hold the battery door closed with a huge elastic band. Each time this slipped, all my settings were messed up and no date was recorded. I know it was quite a long time ago, and I wasn't sure whether to post it as there is so little of the photo that is even moderately sharp, ha, ha. However, there is just something I like about the colouring and bokeh, and the small, delicate, hanging flowerhead. Purple Avens is a native plant in the Rose family and grows in marshes and wet meadows in July. Unusual pinkish purple, nodding heads. Sorry, everyone, I am falling further and further behind with any commenting (which is usually very random, anyway). This time of the year, after our long, cold winter months, I find myself out of the house most of the time, often seven days a week! Throw in severe sleep deprivation, and I tend to be feeling dead tired most of the time, too! Very enjoyable outings for me, (but absolutely necessary also, to keep my joints and muscles mobile, otherwise I won't be able to walk AT ALL), but I feel bad that I'm just not getting time to comment! I appreciate all YOUR comments so much - thank you so much for still taking the time to visit my photostream! So much appreciated!

A friend and I spent this afternoon exploring the west end of Griffith Woods. At the end of our walk, by the parking lot at the west end of the park, two or three plants of this Dame's-rocket were growing in the grass. This member of the Mustard family was introduced from Europe as a garden flower.
