"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Colours - Lilac

The second post in my series of colours..  (and I am *cheating*...as I took some of these photos earlier in the month when I was out shooting my *Orange* series). It was fortuitous...because I have injured a tendon/ligament and have had a lot of pain when I need to go out and about.   So for the past week, I am only going *out* when I need to.....rest seems to be helping....but for a girl like me, who lives for the outdoors and being amid Nature, it's been rough!

I adore all things*Lilac*, I usually don't like houses painted with this colour....however, this home, in Pacific Heights, is gorgeous!  And...the owners have recently purchased one of those *mini-easy-to-find-parking-in the City* cars.....custom-painted!  Wunderschoen!

I have no idea what these pipes are used for.....but they are definitely my favourite shade of lilac!


Wildflowers.......  ah, so lovely...especially in December!

A Christmas gift from my *BS*, Lolo!


 A gift from our New Hampshire Poestess, Suki!

The Nightlight in my Dining Room....

I was thrilled to find "Lilac Alley"!

I took this photo a few years back in Germany.  It's Neuschwanstein..  deep in Southern Bavaria!  I was the only *Madwoman* hiking about in the deep snow...but hey, I got a terrific shot!  (And the sky was *almost* this Lilac.....just a wee bit of *tweaking*!) 


And of course, Marianne knows just what to place all my Christmas gifts in!  A-ha-ha!

Look at this sweet, loving face!  He is a Pitbull.....but, you would be hardpressed to meet a more gentle doggie.  I haven't *tweaked* the colours.....but he definitely is a Lilac-Hound!


And.....you KNOW my bedroom is as Lilac as possible...here is a small corner of it! 


So, dear friends....I hope you enjoyed this second in my colour-series!  I send each one of you a joyous hug as we approach 2012!  May this New Year bring us all health, joy, inspiration, gratitude and HOPE for a glorious year!  I love you all!
