I 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.
Thanks for stopping by today.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous purple it is!
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
What a wonderful shade of purple!!! Cathy
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the third photo, with the light striking that wonderful swirl of petals!!
ReplyDelete@TesSound like you read my soul while writing. I did once have a very close Policeman friend.
ReplyDelete@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.
ReplyDelete@Poetic ShutterbugThe light came out just right, and sometimes I think new cameras are very kind to amateur photographers.
ReplyDelete@Krislin Neo, Ting (Syracuse Pike)I know, there are much mystery in my post. However, if I can ever find those photos, I will email them to you. Smiles.
ReplyDelete@betchaiNature is powerful to those who appreciate. I can understand why you were distracted. The boots is definitely a great tool for these hunting trips.
ReplyDelete@quilly The purple turned out very true to its shade in real life. I am very happy about these photos.
ReplyDeleteYou found some really gorgeous shades of purple in your hunt. Comfortable hiking boots do make it easier to hunt for flowers of all colors.
ReplyDeletei 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.
ReplyDelete@SquirrelQueenThis purple came out so vivid on camera that I was shocked to see it on my blog. Smiles.
ReplyDelete@ruthiI agree that the uniform really makes a person with some authority look more authoritative.
