Boots for Hunting Purples

purple princess flowerI wondered how policemen can be comfortable in their outfits. They have to carry so many items on their body, and dressed in specialized clothing. I never noticed the robust footwear that policemen have to wear, even though I have a policeman friend and saw him with his uniform hundreds of times. His boots are made for policemen, a special type of material and workmanship that is built to last, and to protect him in tough conditions.
Being a policeman he also has to make sure that his health is in tip-top shape, therefore never missed a day of work-out and drank gallons of water each day. He takes his vitamins, and eats nonfattening foods. He has a certain diet that he lived by. He said certain foods made him feel groggy and it is important that he stays alert and well prepare at all times.

I always thought his uniform must be heavy, and I wouldn't want to lug all those things around, but I would love to have a pair of hiking boots that are made similar to his work boots. But the one thing that I am most happy about is being able to find some that are not as high top and made for rough hikes so that I can go on more photo hunts for purples.

  13. Lovely flowers.
    My sister is in the army. They carry probably 5 times as much as police. The walk all day too, lugging all that stuff on their backs.
    Good thing they have comfy boots.

  16. @Beth I didn't get the boots yet when I saw these purple flowers. I would like to get one, because the hike was so rough that it make my feet ache without proper shoes.

  17. @Poetic ShutterbugThe light came out just right, and sometimes I think new cameras are very kind to amateur photographers.

  21. You found some really gorgeous shades of purple in your hunt. Comfortable hiking boots do make it easier to hunt for flowers of all colors.

  22. i love men in uniform. wink* hahahaha... like you i also wonder how they can work with that outfit. looks like they don't want it get wrinkled out. but nevertheless, the uniform gives them some kind of status symbol and respectability.

  23. @SquirrelQueenThis purple came out so vivid on camera that I was shocked to see it on my blog. Smiles.

  24. @ruthiI agree that the uniform really makes a person with some authority look more authoritative.
