Just in time, the purple picture of 2009 appears at Parkway North High
While officially dressed as a Rennaisance maiden, Jenna Stack, a Parkway North senior, looked the part of Disney's Ariel. Her classmates in teacher Allison Ramsaroop's 'Masterpieces' class, learned about chivalry through acts of service at the Creve Coeur school.
Just before Thanksgiving, the purple picture of 2009 presented itself this week at Parkway North High School.
I never look for these things when working, I really don’t. Our digital cameras don’t seem to care for purple very much. It always records as some strange shade of blue-purple that needs to be color corrected later to get it accurate.
But as much as I don’t look for it, the color purple seems to find me annually in some unexpected way.
"It's always been her favorite color," explained Milton Duvall as he and his wife Margaret "Bootsie" Duvall prepared to leave their Clarksville home for a shower. The Duvalls finally felt their home was safe enough to leave it after a massive sandbagging effort appeared to be holding in their town along the Mississippi River.

Funny how I immediately thought the top photo was of Ariel. Obviously, you and I must share a common affliction: too many visits to the Disney well.
Thanks for confirming that my lack of capturing purple properly wasn’t merely a lack of skill on my part. Even though the reproduction on my DSLR is far better than the point ‘n shoot, it still misses the mark.
Outstanding shot of the cucumber beetle. It appears as if your depth of field is about 10 mm. Nice
