Feeling Red

Morelia, Michoacán, México

I am feeling red today—
Better that than blue, they say.

Red is such a cheery shade,
Sweetest color ever made,

Brightens everything you do—
Better red, they say, than blue!

Big Red Guy

On the walkways round the Yarra River in Melbourne are many colourful elephants.
They celebrate the 150th anniversary of Melbourne Zoo.

Bulky big red guy
Trumpeting for attention
A photo delight

Through the Wrong Door

San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Pursuing the moon,
I stumbled through the wrong door—
only shadows there!

Red Glow for Writers

Took a group of Year 9 students into Melbourne last Friday.
Inside the Ian Potter Gallery at Flinders Street was this banner advertising the current Melbourne Writers Festival.
There were a number of these banners in different colours with varying, creative images in the upper "head" of the banner.
At the bottom of the photo is a Swedish writer being interviewed.


Inspiring banner
Writers need creative art
Imagination

With your sword held high
you guard us from all evil,
stalwart San Miguel!

I'm Different!

 

Squeezed into this huddle of white and blue boats at Blairgowrie on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula is one boat featuring some red.

As it is a search and rescue boat, being different is probably a good idea!

I need to be seen

I need the brightness of red

I'm here to help you

Ruby Cactus Blossom

Cactus blossom, El Charco del Ingenio, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Why are you amazed
that the brightest flowers bloom,
nestling among thorns?
