A Photo a Week Challenge: Purple

I am going to make an attempt to participate in Nancy Merrill’s photography challenge for 2017. You can read about the challenge here. Basically, she comes up with a theme and posts a photo that she think fits the theme on each Thursday. My task(as well as others following her meme) is to interpret her theme and post a photograph that I think fits the theme before the following Thursday, when a new theme is started.

This week’s theme is “Purple”. Just 2 flashes of purple in this photo on the middle Mallard….the secondary feathers are bright purple while the head(which is usually green) is dark purple(with a hint of blue-green too!):

These ducks hung around for quite a while after the first snowfall but have now departed for the south.
