Nice visual on RED.. Happy Theme Thursday.. !!
ReplyDeleteKat ~ good for you knowing it's name! We don't have them here either, unfortunately! They would be beautiful against the snow!
ReplyDeleteRED is my FAVORITE COLOR!
ReplyDeleteI really love the bird...so pretty.
Kat calls it a Scarlet Tanager...darling. Wonder where they live?
I love these very clear images...Beautiful...
ReplyDeleteLike Jill, red is my favorite color. I am so LOVING this Theme Thursday...:D
I LOVE RED..IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLORS. LOVE THE LITTLE BIRD AND THE RASPBERRIES..YUM! COME SAY HI :D
ReplyDeleteJill ~ they are all over the eastern half of the US...almost as if a dividing line was drawn right down the center from north to south. I just haven't seen any in our yard before. Maybe I don't have their favorite seed/fruit out.
ReplyDeleteRed is one of my favorite colors. It is cheerful and rich and looks good on everyone, as your photo choices prove.
ReplyDeleteWOW...this is a marvel ...such varied and spirited pics!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of pictures! Fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteActually, red is a nice color, but I'm more of a "blue boy" in that all my clothes are in some shade of blue. (Tho, I DO have a bright red jacket that sets off my blue jeans nicely.) Great post, and a nice salute to red!
ReplyDeleteSkip ~ blue is my favorite color, too! ;)
ReplyDeletegive me red then! So, if I eat Red Velvet cake then am I doubly happy? Hmm...think so.
ReplyDeleteScarlet Tanger? Never heard of it before but oh, how lovely it is.
Mmmmm..rasberries! Fresh from Grandma's garden :P And I'm lovin' that sunset pic! Great visuals here, Betsy :)
ReplyDeleteRed is a great colour, that is why I love my red sofa.;))
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.;)

beautiful reds betsy. the raspberries caught my eye as well....mmm...
ReplyDeleteGreat post Betsy!Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteLove the Bill Blass quote. There's nothing like red to chase away the blues!
ReplyDelete...and grays! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that little bird is sure pretty! We never see birds here with any bright colors. A blue jay is aobut as exciting as it gets, everything else is black or brown.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dawn
Pretty reds!
ReplyDeleteI love the red leaf...reminds me of Fall...my favorite time of year. And you gotta love Marilyn : )
ReplyDeleteHi, I loved reading all of the different colors of red. I love REDS--all of them.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your pictures. The Cardinal is one of my favorite REDS.
Hugs,
Betsy
Wonderful visuals! ! ~Trisha
ReplyDeleteSome great reds, and I enjoyed it ending on Marilyn. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteLOVE all of it, Betsy..
ReplyDeletewonderful.....

love the pics! Love your post. :)
ReplyDelete@Betsy: How'd you know that was Skip signed in as "Simpson/Lynch Studios?" Was it knowing that I almost always dress in black? Or are people starting to forget there are two names in Simpson/Lynch? Gotta love it when I -- or Skip and I -- bend over backwards writing a script, and we get "Great job, Skip!" in the comments. ;-)
ReplyDeletemy that's the reddest oak leaf i've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteSuch a eautiful study in red. if only oak did turn that colour. Love it all.
ReplyDeleteMr Fox. Actually, I went by the style of writing. You write and spell very accurately and grammatically correct. Skip is a bit more laid back in that way. Sorry, Skip. :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I see. Oh, by the way... I enjoyed your post! Got a little side-tracked, I'm afraid. Oops.
ReplyDeleteSo, I was correct...it was Skip on the Simpson/Lynch comment? And if all else fails, sitemeters are a big help. Well, that and the fact that I knew you were partial to black...I mean this cape here is black, right? ha.
ReplyDeleteYep, it was Skip. And the cape is black. And my face is red.
ReplyDeleteAwww...you just need more coffee...hey..it's black, too! Here, let me pour you a cup. Do you take cream or sugar?
ReplyDeleteUsually, I take it with enough milk so I can drink it quickly, and I either use one Splenda or no sweetener at all. Sometimes, I drink it "black as midnight on a moonless night." (And you'll impress the heck out of me if you know where that quote is from!)
ReplyDeleteWell, that would be from Twin Peaks, right? See...I really AM a fan! OK...one cup...lots of milk and a sprinkle of Splenda coming up. :)
ReplyDelete"Twin Peaks" it is. You never cease to impress! Nice to see you keep knowledgeable about all the David Lynches out there, whether there's an "M" for a middle initial, or not.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the coffee, although on sick days like today, I often drink tea.
haha.
ReplyDeleteSorry you're sick. :(
Beautiful pictures Betsy and very informative too about the different shades of red.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting ariel. I'm from India which is a treasureland of mythological stories. Sometimes the stories that I've read in my childhood pop up and I write them down. I know, this was a sad one.
I figured Vivien Leigh would make the list before Marilyn would. Heh.
ReplyDeleteRed is one of my favorite colors. I feel warm and cozy in a red room.
ReplyDeleteJeffscape ~ oh, Vivian would have been a great choice!
ReplyDeleteBetsy, the first three photos took my breath! Wow! Beautiful RED!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
You know which one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteKayren ~ yep..that one was easy! ha!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reds! Also, love the bird feeding in previous entry. Yep, feel like that...not alot though. :)
ReplyDeleteBetsy, you really know your REDS!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures and post!
great pics
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. In the blah of winter there is nothing like red to liven things up!
ReplyDeleteI love this post! Red is such a powerful color. I love brick and cinammon. Such pretty reds.Tomorrow is Red Dress Day. I have heart disease and we need to be aware that it's not just a man's disease. Red lips and red nails....beauty.
ReplyDeleteNanatrish~ I read on someone else's blog today about wearing red tomorrow to support a cure for woman's heart disease! I'll wear my red shirt for you ..and others! :)
ReplyDeleteNice! I especially love that sunset!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving all these reds, but my favorite is the little red birdy. It would be wonderful to see one in our state, but the Pidegons seem to rule our roost, although we do get a lot of Hummingbirds.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT.
God bless.
As always, wonderful photos. Made an addition to my post if you want to check it out.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I love red. These are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteRaspberries! I can hardly wait. Loved all the images!
