Purple is the perfect compliment to the traditional fall colors. It "combines the calm stability of blue and fierce energy of red. (Although) the color purple is often associated with royalty and wealth....it also represents creativity, wisdom, peace, and magic."

| Purples were featured in this window box in Portsmouth. |
Tracie shared the last of her 100 day watercolor project with me this morning. It's a sweet trio of tiny purple blooms that she says took her "back to her roots." I can't wait to browse through her 100 watercolors next time I visit. Congratulations Tracie!
This "Splash of Purple" post describes the significance of the color purple for Tracie.
Anita and I paused to admire this purple Monks Hood on our walk this morning! When you look closely you see how appropriate the name is. 
I love the purple peppers in this window box!
And there's just something about purple kale this time of year that's such a nice balance to all the oranges, yellows, and reds.
The same source referenced above listed words that represent different shades, tints, and values of the color purple:
violet, plum, lavender, lilac, puce, thistle, orchid, mauve, magenta, royal, amethyst, wine, pomegranate, eggplant, mulberry, and plum.
I love the color purple...and I'm grateful to Tracie for helping me celebrate it.
