Wear Purple

"When I am an old woman,
I shall wear purple--
...
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
and gobble up samples in shops
and press alarm bells
and run with my stick along public railings
...
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit!
...
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised
when suddenly I am old,
And start to wear purple!"
--Excerpted from "Warning!" a poem by Jenny Joseph

I am making this my favorite of your November entries, Melinda. There are others I like a lot -- the composition in John Brown's Farm is classic, Eliza is a wonderful dog portrait though I wish you would clone out the leash :), 11111 was very nearly my pick -- love its simple beauty, Knocked Bar is perfectly timed, Needles of Hope is a sentimental favorite, and I really like the strong contrasts in Leaf Shadows. But your use of DOF and your composition make this one, Wear Purple, my pick. Good luck with it and others. #8196849
