Time to see RED? Not really!
If you asked me what my favourite colour is, I’d probably say red. But when I look back through my photos I find that they are predominantly blues. Often the reds are a wine colour, like the leaves from my Virginia Creeper, above. Or I’ve used the red as an accent colour, like my favourite dress, which is white with deep blue and red flowers on.
Saltburn Cliff Lift is definitely red..
Doesn’t this small ladybird wear red beautifully?
My home town’s symbol, proudly red.
Hartlepool Headland with a good splash of the colour.
Is crab red when it’s cooked?
The hottest of red hibiscus!
The jewel red in a stained glass window always leaps out at me.
Got to squeeze in a battered old red Tavira door.
Our royals, resplendent in red!
I thought this rose was red, but isn’t it coral?
Striking red metalwork on this tearoom windowsill.
Romantic red at Riva del Garda.
This dahlia looked red as could be to me, but here it’s looking pink!
Icecream, anyone?
And it isn’t possible to have icecream without my red haired lady!
I can have endless arguments with my husband about colour, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s all beautiful, isn’t it? No need to see red at all!
Thanks for humouring me this Saturday. Hope your weekend sparkles, whatever shade it is. Many thanks to Cate at Show My Face. Hope she’s feeling better this week. Do click on the logos or the link to join in.

One of these days I’ll work out a way to categorise my photos, Ad. It’s always after I’ve published that I find the photo I was going to use! 🙂 Good job there are a few to choose from (or maybe that’s the problem! 😦 )

Like many, I think of red as an accent color. Did you leave the picture out on purpose of you in your favorite dress? I bet it is stunning. 🙂

I don’t have one, I don’t think, Lynne. The dress lives in Tavira with my “Summer wardrobe”. It’s just a slim white shift with flowers on, that makes me feel good. 🙂

Great post Jo. I love red! Didn’t wear for a long time as I had dark coppery hair, but discovered in my forties that it really suits me! Or did… and I especially like the magenta, burgundy, wine, berry shades of red, in fact I tend to collect plants with flowers or leaves of that colour too 😀

It just depends what the ‘thing’ is as to whether I like the color. Probably just conditioned to like certain colors on certain things. I like bright pink and bright orange, but don’t like them as colors on a car.

Nice collection Jo, particularly the cliff lift at Saltburn. I didn’t realise they had such ornate windows – when we were there the lift was closed and the carriages parked half way up.
