It seems like everything I own is purple. It was very hard for me to limit myself to just a fraction of the purple objects around me.

Stapler

Paper clip

Sticky notes

Contact case

Pillows

Nightlight

Not really sure what this is so I’ll just call it a purple tchotchke

Decorative paperweight

I think this is a giant hunk of amethyst

Sunglasses

 Cat plant holder

I have a lot of cheats this week. But I couldn’t help posting the mask I bought in Venice.

Or the barberry bushes next to the liriope

Or the purple house with the purple crape myrtle

I love purple!!

Orange was fun, quite a bit of inspiration for this color this week.

I’m not sure if copper necessarily counts as orange, but I couldn’t resist putting my smashed penny collection somewhere in my blog ;-)

Sponge

Scissors

Oranges, duh!

The pumpkins are already out…in September! But I’m not complaining, I love pumpkins!!

Goldfish crackers

Cat toy

And finally an orange cat (more formally known as a Ginger Tabby)! Or Snickers as I like to call him ;-)     I guess I had two cheats this week,  but I just couldn’t resist including that cute little face!

I was hoping to find more green things other than foliage, but I think I have enough variety to make up for the fact that half of these are leaves or vegetables.

Ivy taking over my side yard

Tall grass in my other side yard (which is really my neighbor’s, but since they moved out, the new owners don’t keep up with it)

Leaves from my orchid I’ve manage to keep alive (that I keep at work, no way it would have survived at home with the kids)

Building I can see from the balcony at work. It looks like I treated it with a filter but I just think it was the wind and a shaky hand.

Another building I can see from the balcony at work

Mountain Dew bottle

Cucumber

Arrangement of (fake) succulents and moss

Vegas beads

And my cheat for the week…he isn’t exactly green, but I found this guy in my front yard. I have frogs!

At first I was very disappointed at the lack of various brown things around me. There is tons of wood in various states…of being wood. Like trees, or furniture, or buildings. But I couldn’t do a whole post on wood. But then I focused on smaller objects and realized there was actually a lot to photograph!

Wood siding on a building on my way to work (had to have at least one representation)

The chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your hand

Cinnamon stick

Coffee grounds

Fake aged copper framed mirror

Basket

Suede purse
