Friday Shoot-out: Paint the town RED

It is amazing what we don’t see that is there everyday.  I thought whatever will I find RED in Houston?  I am in trouble this week.  When I really started to looking I found red at every turn.  I found -

Red that instructs us and

Red that guides our way

I found red that tells where to save and where to spend

and red cars and red trucks making fun for you and me

red that is ready to protect us

and red that is hard at work.

 

 

 

And finally there is red that shows our love, and red that gives us a ‘welcome home’.

  1. GingerV: Looks like you did not miss a thing red in Dallas. It is amazing what one sees when one is looking. How many people pass those things every day and never even see them.

    Thanks for showing us Dallas through red colored glasses. It is so much fun traveling with you. I think I missed I few posts. With so many people now, it is hard to keep up.

    Next weeks assignment comes from Hensly. It is "Water."

  3. HI! Fantastic job on the Paint the Town Red theme this week, your pictures are great and your text is even greater - wow it rhymes!! I love it!!! I had a bit more trouble finding some intersting red things in Germany, but I managed considering that the german folk are more conservative and keep to the natural tones in life. I had fun looking tho. Have a good day, Debby

  7. Your photos are, as usual, excellent and I liked the way you gave red a personality and told us what it does...much more than just what it looks like. You tie it all together.

  8. Ginger, your colors are so vivid and your photos so sharp and well done. I almost posted a stop sign pic that had "4 way" attached to it. Here, I've never seen on that says all way. That would leave no doubt.
    Thanks for the great tour.
