Seattle spring approaches. There's blooming crocuses, hyacinths, irises and heather in all kinds of gorgeous shades of purple around every corner. The other day the dogs and I walked past blossoming purple kale plants that were taller than Huxley. Despite knowing that this weeks 52 Snapshots of Life theme is purple, I didn't stop for a photo. I have been obsessed for weeks with the idea of taking photographs of the dogs at a certain Seattle store. I can't explain why I wanted these snapshots. It seemed so odd to want photos with something so, well, odd. I laughed through the entire shoot as did many passers-by. Perhaps that is why the dogs were such great sports. The photographs turned out very purple indeed and we had an awesome pet friendly adventure in a Seattle neighborhood we rarely visit. I love when even something as simple as a color can inspire such fun.
