This week’s photo challenge theme is ‘purple’, I spied this autumn crocus on my Monday morning walk up the Rock. But how about some purple stalactites? You can find them in St Michael’s Cave…
I spotted this purple Bee in Manchester, you can read all about the Bees here.
I just love a hydrangea…
And a little purple plant I painted at watercolour class…
So that’s this week’s photo challenge entry done, now to take a look back at what everyone else has been up to over the summer:
As things got a bit hectic at times during the summer I didn’t manage to do a monthly round-up, so here’s a mega round-up of some of the entries to the weekly Postcard from Gibraltar Friday photo challenge (the photos are from Instagram and were taken by other people taking part in the Postcard from Gibraltar Friday photo challenge), thank you to everyone who’s taken part!
Week 27 : Golden

Week 28 : Favourite
Animals are always popular!
…. but if you fancy an adorable tale about a precious favourite toy, hop on over to Wild Daffodil.

Aren’t these button pictures cute? Sandra at Wild Daffodil made some beautiful crocheted buttons…

Margaret’s beautiful silk ribbon embroidery is just breathtaking in her Crafty Creek entry for stitch…

Randall made me giggle with this one…

And it was a scenic rather than moral viewpoint which Margaret at The Crafty Creek opted for for her entry.

Next week’s theme is ‘nocturnal’.
Wow – some amazing photos in this wonderful collection. Thanks so much for all the links.
It’s my pleasure Sandra, I’m just sorry it took me so long to get round to the round-up, things as always have been rather busy and I didn’t have the time before now! Got there in the end though! Next week, I hope to have a monthly meet-up for you after a month and a bit missing in action!!! 😉
I completely understand! Don’t let it feel like a pressure – Blogland is our happy place with no shoulds and oughts! 🙂
I know, but I do like to join in, just sometimes life gets in the way!! 😊
Here is my archive post for your PURPLE week: https://daffodilwild.wordpress.com/2015/08/11/purple/
Brill thanks Sandra, I need to crack my grown-up colouring book out again sometime 😊💜
I so enjoyed looking through these pictures 😍 Thank you so much for the compilation and links!
I can’t compete with your beauties – those stalactites are breathtaking 💕 – but I will try to find some ‘blog-worthy’ ones 😁
How lovely to read your comments, thank you. Have you been playing along yourself? I’m afraid I’be missed them if you have – apologies!
No worries…you didn’t miss a thing 😊 I haven’t played along yet, but your posts are so inspiring that I plan to soon 🙂💕
Aw thanks! Well you’re very welcome to join in anytime 😊
😊💕🌻
Love this challenge and all of the photos you’ve taken. Which has been you favorite thus far?
Thank you! Do you know, there have been so many fun ones I couldn’t pick. Perhaps I should think on that before the end of the year.
