I was surprised at first to find so few purple photos in my collection with purple being my favorite color. After searching some more, I came up with the following:
Mask ~ Venice, Italy:
Lilac house ~ Burano, Italy:
Glass shop ~ Burano, Italy:
Flowers ~ Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy
Flowers ~ Baur B&B, Acqui Terme, Italy
Flowers ~ Sirmione, Lake Garda, Italy

What a lovely collection of purples. I also posted a photo of a house in Burano. I’m amazed at the color combination they come up with. The purple petunias from Diana’s place look so striking against the pinkish wall.
Purple is also my favorite color, it is the color of my birthstone.

These are beautiful! I didn't know that purple was your favorite color - I like it a lot too. These show lots of different hues of it. I love those petunias next to the pink wall.
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Once again I am impressed with your photo collection, and the way they come together for these themes. I especially like the lilac house with the green shutters on Burano; it looks so loved...

Wow so many great purple shots. Really like the purple mask on your first photo. Love the way those houses are painted, it makes everything look so friendly.

I love the contrast of the purple flowers and the pink wall in Baur B&B.

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate all of your comments. I find it pretty difficult to take a bad purple photo :)
menehune, no I have not been in Venice for carnivale. It would be too cold for me that time of year and I am working then. It must be fun though.
Mar, isn't Santa Margherita Ligure beautiful?
candi, I also had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for the mamoul treats. They are delicious!! Lucky me!!

would love to visit italy.......do you sell these pics? you could put them into poster size, know that would selll......people like different things and with this purple theme, surely you could make some extra cash, while pleasing others art cravings.
Think about it. we're open to the idea~
