Purple 1

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 5 November 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Not macroed, this flower was zoomed in on. It was caught red-handed (or should that be purple-handed?), shamelessly blooming in a Bradenton flower bed. The nerve!

For no particular reason, other than I can do this, it's my blog - this is the first of a random series, loosely anchored each day by the featuring of something that includes the color purple.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.
