A Dose Of Purple by myautofocuslife

A Dose Of Purple

No flower shots for a week!? This needs to be corrected! 8D

In other news, I am stoked! This season's best series must be Jormungand!

I don't know what kind of impression I'm giving, what with my need to photograph flowers, run away from caterpillars and play with dolls. I am not a girly girl. Because, where my anime watching diet is concerned, I like a big healthy dose of death and violence in it.

Jormungand's OP song totally rocks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDhEtUl7U-A I love the non-stop action. Bullets fly, things explode, cars crash! It's all about Koko Hekmatyar, an underground arms dealer and her crew of 9 bodyguards who are experts in all things covert, combative and explosive. I like my men manly and these are manly men!

Two episodes in, and I'm happily sold. Ahhh. Good times. 8)
And what a lovely purple!

Haha, Livia.....you've lost me on the Jormungand commentary so dont worry @pyrrhula, my English is good and I dont understand either.
You are a person of contrasts and I love it Livia.
April 27th, 2012  
Kind of a guns and roses thing! Cool songs and gorgeous shot!!!! You do take the best flower pics! Fav!

LOL! You are something else, gal and I love who you are! Gorgeous capture of this purple lovely! Great textures in the petals that look like velvet! Nicely done! I like my men manly, too... which explains why I don't have one! LOL! So sick of the proverbially castrated males, I could scream! I do NOT want a man that's in touch with his feminine side!

April 27th, 2012  
Livia, what have you been into! Magic Mushrooms? You almost sound angry but what's wrong with emotive comments! I can't see anything masculine in this photo - its surreptiously feminine!
April 27th, 2012

Thank You for your kind comment, I like the beauty of this deep purple color, and how the blossom petals seem to have some thickness to them, almost like velvet!

@losthorizon Jormungand reminds me of Black Lagoon. If you haven't seen Black Lagoon, you should. There are two seasons of Black Lagoon, with 12 episodes in each season. It's awesome. 8D
