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.

@tyan: Purple is the color of royalty according to tradition; it's always been one of my favorite colors (though I am far from being royal)...

M.E. from Encino, United States

awesome shot! Who wouldn't want to be "random" in their ways - esp in photography - it's one of the things that makes us feel we are free!

@M.E.: Ha-ha. I'm a Calvinist. At best, freedom is an illusion. But why not enjoy it, eh? I try to. Thank you for the kind words.

Mandy from South Africa

Hooray, purple is my favourite colour!!! And this image is the epitome of gladdening and delightful!! Thank you so much, dear VF. I am so looking forward to this series too :)

@Rebecca: I am pleased that you are a purple-lover; I could never decide if blue or purple was my favorite color. Then I realized one day I could like them both, plus a few others as well.
