Red

Playing along with Sister Sun and her colour link up. Celebrating all things red.

I do love red, the colour we begin our lives with, nestled in our mothers womb.  The colours of leaves in the Autumn sun. There is warmth and comfort in red. The colour of kisses,sunrises and sunsets. The colours of nature - red roses, red earth, red gum, rusted iron and terracotta. Red is delicious - red chillies, raspberries, cranberries, strawberries, cherries, tomatoes and the sweet red flowers of pineapple sage. Red is wild and dangerous. The colour of fire. The stripe of a red backed spider and poisonous red Fly Agaric Mushrooms warning us not to come near. Red is mischievous fun - red cars, red boots, red lipstick, red cochineal dyed lollies and the splendid flush of red cheeks. 

And because I was still thinking pink, long after Sister Sun's meme had finished, here is last weeks hues of pink around our home.  I think I like using the link to inspire me to discover all the colour around my life now, rather than sorting through the photos of old.
