Today's Color is ... Red.

With everything popping in the garden right now, I bet ya thought I was going to say 'green'.

This is project #3 for C & C Photography's spring photography workshop.

I chose red for my subject, to show the wonderful variation in the colors of spring ... all you have to do is look carefully.

Enjoy!








As you can see, red and green aren't just for Christmas anymore.

All of this beautiful spring growth promises armloads of flowers in a few weeks. 

Be sure to visit C & C Photography to see which colors the other participants chose.  They're a very creative bunch, and I'm always in awe of what their work.

  2. number 6 is my favorite, with the rose branch all thorny behind it. What a beautiful garden it must be! I am still waiting for snow to quit coming where I live! Keep up the great photos.

  4. It's delightful to see the red and green, and the roses...which are beautiful throughout much of the year even without blossoms, in spite of what many say!

  5. And not just any red! That color is so special. I remember Graham Thomas saying that only roses that come from China root stalk produce new red growth. I think of that every spring. So glad you were able to capture it for all to enjoy. Happy weekend, Connie.

  19. It's funny, I've never even thought about how much red and green are in the spring...and fall, not winter, well some I guess, but not as much! I love how the light plays off the leaves in your pics.
