Gallimaufry#24

Just a gallimaufry of red-themed photos ...

THE COLOUR RED

Painter's palette (Anthurium andraeanum)
Chinese clogs
Fun fact
Traditionally, two pairs of clogs, usually painted red, form part of a dowry for a Chinese bride.  Chinese clogs have no left or right foot distinction.

    There used to be a time when women wore bright red lipstick and nail polish, but one rarely sees that any more. A Northern Cardinal male is singing in my garden as I write this - now that's red!

    Dearest Veronica,
    Red used to be the favorite color of my Mom.
    LOVE your photos of the Anthurium, they thrive so well in your region.
    Chinese clogs would be awkward to wear as good fitting footwear is of the utmost importance.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    Those red telephone kiosks are very rare now. They are worth a fortune for people who have them to adorn a large garden.

    Nice RED theme. I like them all but there's something that really calls to me - pardon the pun - of the phone booth one!

    Oh, I really liked this post, as red flowers and red birds are my favorite. I love red in fashion too. The black and white photos with a touch of red are very cool. And those red flowers are so unique. Is it almost time for sandals, oh my? The red cat tails are unusual, aren't they?

    *thank you for your comment about the dreams. I have also heard something similar to that, that when we have a dream of someone, they are thinking of us. It was interesting to read your comment. : )

    I did not know that about the painted red clogs!! I like how the phone booths are red in the photo from London but everything else is black and white.

    This was a great subject matter to select, Veronica Lee, as the color red can brings vibrance anywhere it is spotted. My favorite in this grouping was the statue and artwork in the final image. I am quite sure there is a story behind both.

    Hola Verónica, muy buen reportaje, me gusta el color rojo, está muy bien lo de los zuecos, que sirvan para los dos pies, me encanta la cola del gato, no la conocía en ese color.
    Feliz fin de semana.

    This is my favorite color. I like that Red hot cat tail (Acalypha hispida). It looks like a craft pipe cleaner to me. I've seen them in a greenhouse garden here.
