This week's Photo Hunt theme is purple. My friend Sandi and I had a list of upcoming photo hunts when we hung out in Italy a few weeks back (has it really been two weeks since I have been back? SIGH) so whenever we saw something that was photo hunt 'worthy' we snapped a picture. I will be able to relive my trip to Italy for months at this rate!
Today's picture was shot quickly, we were hanging out in a cafe in Venice waiting for a shop to open when a bride walked by on her way to the nearby church. For this week's theme of purple I present . . . . the mother of the bride . . .
That is style!

I am just loving your everyday people/things shots from this trip this time...it is just the sort of slice of life that makes one smile at the image. Very nice photo...it leads one to think, contemplate, speculate...and smile with the familiarity of it all.

Looks like the mother of the bride was there to make sure that no one got in her daughter's way on the way to the church!!! :D

No way I'd wear that dress. Not me. uh-uh. Purple or not, I'll skip the spots.

It just occurred to me that we are both fashionable this week.

Ha ha! Love it. I've always heard it's good luck to see an Italian bride...might be even luckier to see the styling mom!

Purple Polka dots. That is a bold statement by the mother. Love it.

I am just thankful I didn't wear purple all week!

Seems like purple is really the "in" color in Italy this season.

Thanks for popping by on photo hunt Saturday - in my books a splash of colour is always a fine thing!
