I don’t have to venture far to find beautiful bokeh. Up a flight of steps lies my loft studio and an enchanting world of beads, bokeh, and bling. Swarovski crystals, sequins, and beads of every shape and size sit strewn across my work table. They catch morning light, splashing bedazzling, dancing glimmer in every direction.
Where do you find your daily dose of visual inspiration?

I shot some beautiful purple flowers in France last month:

Beautiful images. Some purple I stumbled upon not too long ago: http://instamaticgratification.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/221366/
A little purple for today:

Oh these shots are beautiful. I get my inspiration from where I live.
I get a great deal of my inspiration in my kitchen. And, coincidentally, I took some photos in there just two days ago (including an African violet with purple blooms) — I posted it yesterday on my photo journal:
