Days of You and Me: Day 12, Purple Stroll

On Friday, Annabelle and I drove into the city to visit an art museum and go on our “color the day” walk.  For this “day of you and me” I brought along both of our cameras so that whenever we spotted the color purple, we could stop and photograph what we saw.

While taking our purple stroll, I borrowed the line from Sue Williams’ I Went Walking “What did you see?”

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw purple flowers!

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw a little girl in a purple dress.

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw a little girl in a purple dress chewing a purple piece of gum.  (um, yes, I let her chew gum . . . it’s one of those ‘pick your battles’ situations)

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw a man wearing a purple shirt.

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw a man wearing a purple shirt stopping to look at a map.

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw a big red city bus with purple monuments.

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw mamma taking pictures.

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw me.  Snap!

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw a little girl in a purple dress staring back at me . . .

again . . .

and then . . .

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

I saw a mirrored path . . .

with all sorts of . . .

me!

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

A picture of purple mountains, a tree, and the sky,

a little white cottage with purple shade and shadows,

and then . . . I saw my friend Aryana!  We saw real Spanish armor . . . with hearts!

and I got to hold it!  See!

I went walking.  “What did you see?”

Mamma: “I see a tired little girl who is very much in need of a nap.”

And so our day at the museum came to a close.  It was time to go walking yet again; this time to the car where a tired little girl in a purple dress could take a long, long nap on the car ride home.
