The colour red!

Wishing all my friends, a very happy Fourth of July!
May you have a wonderful and safe long weekend.


My Sailor bear~ Brighton.

Music legend - Chuck Berry holds his cherry red guitar. With early classics like Rock Rock Rock and Johnny B Goode, was considered one of the great rock and roll pioneers - National Geographic.
I love the colour Red.
It is always such a bright and rich colour. From the red of a strawberry and cherry to a glass of Pinot Noir.

Here are a few images, I would like to share with you.
Have a great day!
Hugs
Carolyn

  1. Red is a great color isn't it!? Thank you for the lovely Independence Day wishes! I know you don't celebrate the 4th of July there in New Zealand so I think it's extra sweet of you to be wishing it for your American friends! Thank you! I hope you have a lovely day on the 4th of July, too! :)

  3. Red is one of my faves too Carolyn. I wore a little red dress on my first date with MOTH, so as a colour it has 'sentimental' value in our house! A lovely tribute to our friends across the Pacific.

    Carolyn, you can "shrink" the robe pattern :) Perhaps one of your little bears would like to feel all cozy in a fuzzy robe :) Hugs :) Marsha

  13. Hi Sares,

    I like red too, especially in Winter where everything seems cold and wet.
    It sure makes for a happy day.

    Hi Teresa,

    Thanks for visiting. I am like you ~ pink is my favourite colour and a close second would have to be green and red.

    Hi Kim,

    Red geraniums in a garden or pot, makes for a pretty show.

  23. Hi Carolyn,

    Thanks for wishing us a happy Fourth. It is a lovely day in California today. It's hard to imagine it being winter and raining as we've had 80 degree weather lately. That picture of the mosque is fabulous. I've subscribed to National Geographic over the years for quite a long time. Their photos are so incredible. Thanks for sharing!

  24. Hi Sharon,

    Yes, it is hard to think that you are sweltering in the heat and here it is wet and not very nice.
    However I did get out in the garden as I have had some standard Iceberg roses to plant and some violas for my window boxes.
    My Parents subscribed to National Geographic for years. I buy it now and again - we do have the NZ Geographic over here and we have a friend that is the Editor for that.
    So I mainly read that now.

    Hugs
    Carolyn
