purple and red by quietpurplehaze

purple and red

I like getting Ray to take my 'non-selfie selfies'. It always makes me smile which I think is therapeutic. And I know you all know Jenny Joseph's poem about the prospective old woman and red and purple.

The pashmina was a gift from my daughter, Clare, and is great for co-ordinating outfits. I would have preferred a purple scooter but c'est la vie and all that.

We were at Hilliers Arboretum with friends and the bokeh tree is a white cornus.

Ray takes a great portrait of you! At least the red in the pashmina ties in your scooter.

If it's for the poem search for When I am an old woman by Jenny Joseph.

it is a fabulous photo haze, your A6000 still earning it's money. Ray did a great job and i love how the trees are acting as a natural vignette

Red and purple, love them. In fact today I passed a garden with red roses and purple crepe Myrtle and just stopped to enjoy. Love your smile.

Thanks, everyone for visits and comments. It's true that sitting on my scooter (nothing hurts) with Ray taking my portrait, is a good place to be and it's easy to smile at him! And it's great to be out and about. My daughter, Clare, gave me the pashmina/scarf which cleverly ties a lot of clothes together. Maybe I should get a red hat ready for the winter and I certainly won't follow Jenny Joseph's exhortation to go spitting nor eating a pound of sausages in one go!
