This post is in response to Dan Antion’s CFFC – Crayola Box of 8 challenge. This week the color is, my favorite, purple! You can see Dan’s original post here: The Crayola Box of 8 – Purple — CFFC – No Facilities. He’s got a purple painted cow that you won’t want to miss.
Because purple is my favorite color, you’d think I’d have a lot of purple stuff. Oddly enough, I don’t. My Facebook page has bunches of purple images, and my Pintrest account, as well, because I collected purple for a while several years ago. But as far as actual tangible stuff, I really don’t. I was surprised.
The windchime above was made by my daughter especially for me, so it is a custom job. I loved all the purple she put into it and I sleep below it every night. Then, I have my hat collection with a couple of purple hats, and the warm, purple hat was crocheted by my other daughter. I guess they know me pretty good.

I couldn’t come up with any black foods, but black is a good color for transportation.

Black Pot Belly Stoves
One of my favorite black things are pot belly stoves, which come in all sizes and various designs, but they are all beautiful.

Black Birds
Ravens and Turkey Vultures are pretty elusive, but I’ve managed to snap a few pictures. I also threw in one of the wild turkeys and a couple of the black and white woodpeckers, which I call Tuxedos.

Black (and white) Cat
This section is a tribute to my cat, Rowdy, who fell prey to coyotes the beginning of last summer. His black stands out beautifully against his white, creating a lovely contrast. I miss him something awful. Here’s to Rowdy.

Black (and white) Blue Heeler
This section chronicles the life of my dog Timber. As a puppy, he was a little devil-dog, but he’s three now, and has grown into a beautiful blue heeler. Blue heelers get their name from the way the black and white fur mixes, making them look like they are blue, but the patches on his face are distinct.

Most of my photos are of wild animals. The only farm animals photos I have are of horses. So, the first three are of horses.

Weathered Wood
The other challenge category was Weathered Wood, and it just so happens I’m a big fan of old buildings.

I found this challenge through a post which Robbie Cheadle made earlier this week, where she posted several lovely photos. You can see Robbie’s response to this challenge on Roberta Writes. I went to Cee’s blog to see what all the fuss was about and it sounded like fun, so I decided to join in with this Saturday post. You can find out more about Cee’s cool challenges here.
