whimsical wednesday!

today for whimsical wednesday we looked for the anything purple.  since i was on the road for five hours, there was a lot more purple along the route home than i imagined there would be.

i saw purple:

as an accent on 10 trucks.
2 sport utility vehicles (suv).
a balloon.
a banner.
2 billboards, the produce on one and the background on the other.
a car windshield reflector (for the sun).
14 cars.
a bin of plums.
a boat.
one pickup truck.
2 bowls.
the cabs of 24 tractor-trailer trucks.
an afhgan.
the trailers of 2 tractor-trailer trucks.
2 mugs.
2 books.
2 quilts.
1 ball.
1 vase.
a sign.
a trailer being pulled by a truck.
5 paintings.
a rig attached to a huge truck.
a lid.
design on a milk carton.
an ad in a newspaper.
a houseplant.
dvd/vhs tape covers.
flowers.
a design on a cream and sugar bowl set.
flower pot.
eeyore!

it was amazing that there are so many purple vehicles of all shapes and sizes on the road.  it must be the new favorite color for vehicles.
it was amazing that that much purple could be seen in 6 hours.  it was expected that purple would be less accessible than more typical colors.
