“Living and Loving An Intense Life” gets a little tiresome sometimes…

When those times come I am reminded that I am a very visually oriented person, I have to address that part of myself. To do that, I pull out my “REDS”, there’s nothing better for a grey day, a new grey hair, a grey heartache, etc. …

I’m hoping that my “REDS” give you little goosebumps of pleasure also!!!

Red bows, puppy tongues, red guitars at the airport, my favorite boy in a red shirt and red brick buildings from a friend’s car…beautiful things…they make my heart sing…

A classic Chevy Red Truck…a mosaic that brings back good memories of a good day with my son…

Living and Loving An Intense Life with the aid of that bright red crayon from the giant box of Crayolas…

Come visit Mary at Dear Little Red House to see what all my Crayola Buddies are coloring for you today!!!

Just a little Red…

Nandina berries, for a little color in this cold December day…

Nandina berries are poisonous to birds…so they don’t eat them…

That just means there’s a little bit of bright red color in my yard a little longer…It’s a good thing…

These are NOT my Photos!!!! But aren’t they beautiful???

 

Go to this blog to meet the photographer…I promise…you won’t be disappointed.

 

This one is for Betsy and George, they’re “waterfall people”…

Nothin’ But Blue Skies…

 

Same photo…Sepia processing…

Focal Black and White…

Warmify…

I use the free Picasa photo editing program and I think I’m getting ready to make the leap to Photoshop…Help, I need advice…are the numbered versions (Photoshop 8) work on their own or do they just supplement the larger program???

Please visit Mary at Dear Little Red House for more mosaics and Smilin’ Sally for all the blue you ever dreamed of and Met Monday for the metamorphosis I’ve taken these photos through.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside…

The cold weather has finally gotten my garden goodies…

the basil is black

the tomatoes are toast

the black-eyed Susan vines are broke

the flowers are frightening

the geraniums are gone…

and I’m not a poet!!!

Some winter photos from last January…hoping we won’t see any more of this…

or this in our little Southern neighborhood…

I sure don’t want to see my hollies looking like this again…
