While the earth sleeps, a bit of the cheerful color red can be seen if one really pays attention. These are random shots in my home at Christmas, around the bend and on a small, local lake in my neighborhood. In the photo below, in the upper left corner you can see a small hockey rink with lawn chairs for the 'audience' that has been cleared on the lake.

Great photos! I love the idea of an impromptu ice rink.

ReplyDeleteNice blog.
The touches of red add a cheery zing to winter landscapes! Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteYou have so much more snow than we do! I love looking at the snow. And the red ribbons jazz it all up.
ReplyDeleteNoni, lovely little hints of RED here and there... Dis "God Save the Queen" come from that quote? Happy Ruby Tuesday! :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am fine, Noni, I did a couple of posts explaining exerything... :)
ReplyDeleteThe little rubies are here to be seen in the frozen Land -O-Lakes. The footbridge is a gem, the slight arc is ready to allow crossing of the stream in spring. Red bows and ruby banners give a warmth to the snowy landscape...
ReplyDeleteI'm always "red-dy" to enjoy your posts!
ReplyDeleteAloha, Friend
