When I started down this path I thought my red photo essay would be 90% flowers. While it easily could be, I found many other fun reds to share. I especially like the first one. Someone's Valentine escaped to land gently in my yard after a snowfall.

13 August 2013 - Red
Red. So many shades of red: orange-reds, blue-reds, and so many names: scarlet, vermilion, crimson. For me, red conjures up my grandmother whose favorite color was red and favorite flowers were roses. Red is remembrance, roses and romance, courage, honor and glory.

7 August 2015 - Yellow
For many years yellow was my favorite color. I think yellow is just plain happy. It makes me happy, that's for certain. I do not wear yellow or paint walls in shades of yellow, but yellow can really wow in so many different ways. Many people associate yellow with optimism and spontaneity, which is a bit odd as it can also signify cowardice. I'm going with the first two. Also, I can totally get behind the Chinese theory where yellow is the color of happiness and glory. Personally, I would add heroic and cheerful to the list of attributes.
