I am doing almost all of my red shoe photos in color, and in BW with red. I dont know that I will post each that way or not. I am trying to get some input as to which way is liked the most.

This is my 15th year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the eclectic Renaissance Family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive, very colorful and exciting!
Thank you very much for looking. Have a great day! Hazaaa!!

Our red shouldered hawks are back for a third year. They've been working on the nest and taking care or our yard rodent population. We're really looking forward to all the noise that comes with these beautiful raptors. Here's hoping they have another successful season of pro-creation. :-)
Red Tape, awesome trail in Kapiti close to Paraparamu. A few narrow bits near the start with a decent drop to the side.
Gets flowy and fast after a bit of this.

Red Line 7000 refers not to this reflected streak of sunlight 1 ⅓ miles up in the sky, but to the race car tachometer reading in the 1965 movie of that name. Here is a link to a scathing, insightful, too-long review of the film.
Ribes sanguineum
Species of flowering plant in the gooseberry family Grossulariaceae
Ribes sanguineum, the flowering currant, redflower currant, red-flowering currant, or red currant is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Grossulariaceae. It is native to the western United States and Canada.
Quick Facts Conservation status, Scientific classification ...
Description
It is a deciduous shrub growing to 3 metres (10 feet) tall and broad. It is naturally multi-stemmed with an upright-arching to rounded habit, although it can be grown in tree form. The bark is dark brownish-grey with prominent paler brown lenticels.
The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, 2–7 centimetres (1–3 inches) long and broad, palmately lobed with five lobes. When young in spring, they have a strong resinous scent.
The flowers are produced in early spring at the same time as the leaves emerge, on dangling racemes 3–7 cm (1–3 in) long of 5–30 flowers; each flower is 5–10 millimetres (1⁄4–3⁄8 in) in diameter, with five red, pink, or white petals.
The fruit is a dark purple oval berry about 1 cm (3⁄8 in) long; it has an insipid taste.
Taxonomy
Varieties
More information Image, Subspecies ...
Etymology
The Latin specific epithet sanguineum means 'blood-red'.
Distribution
It is native to the western United States, Canada and Mexico. In western British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon, it is distributed widely in the moist regions west of the Cascades. In California it is restricted to areas near the coast, and can be found as far south as Santa Barbara County. In Mexico, it is only found on the Pacific island of Guadalupe, where it may be extirpated. Although its conservation status is secure across the rest of its range, in Idaho it is critically imperiled and is found only rarely in Bonner, Kootenai, Benewah, and Adams counties.
It is widely cultivated and naturalized throughout temperate Europe and Australasia.
Ecology

The early spring nectar of red-flowering currant is used by hummingbirds as well as butterflies, which along with moths browse the leaves in their larval stage. Deer and elk occasionally browse the leaves, and the berries are consumed by birds and small mammals. Its branches provide nesting habitat for birds.
The species is a host to white pine blister rust, which led to eradication efforts in the early to mid-20th century. From the 1920s the genus Ribes was federally restricted within the United States until the ban was lifted in 1966 due to increased resistance among both Ribes and Western white pine populations.
Red-flowering currant is shade tolerant but prefers sunny sites. It tolerates drought well, but prefers cool and moist conditions.
As an invasive species
Red-flowering currant has been an invasive species in New Zealand since it was naturalized in 1904, where it forms dense stands in shrublands and along waterways which crowd out native vegetation.
It is considered a 'significant environmental weed' in Tasmania, though only a minor problem as it is not widespread.
Cultivation
R. sanguineum was introduced into cultivation in Britain in the fall of 1826 by Scottish botanist David Douglas, via seeds he had sent back during his explorations for the Royal Horticultural Society in the Pacific Northwest. It and its varieties and cultivars became immediately popular among English gardeners. The noted botanist and RHS member John Lindley remarked:
...of such importance do we consider [red-flowering currant] to the embellishment of our gardens, that if the expense incurred by the Horticultural Society in Mr. Douglas' voyage had been attended with no other result than the introduction of this species, there would have been no ground for dissatisfaction.
-John Lindley, quoted in The Collector by Jack Nisbet
It remains a popular garden shrub, valued for its brightly colored and scented flowers in early spring, and birds and habitat support. Numerous cultivars have been selected with flowers ranging from white to dark red. The following cultivars have gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit:
'Koja'
'Poky's Pink'
White Icicle = 'Ubric'
Uses
The berries are edible but of a poor flavour.
Both indigenous and non-indigenous people use the berries for food, eating them fresh or dried or making them into jams, pies, juice, or syrup. The flowers can be used to infuse beverages, especially spirits.
These impossibly elegant high heeled red shoes belonged to my mum, and I think illustrate this week's challenge theme.
The Red Shoes is one of many wonderful stories written by Hans Christian Anderson - with almost as gruesome an ending of some of the tales collected by the brothers Grimm.
Happy Smile on Saturday!
I'm here walking in a city that is red again
I'm here living with the dead again
Knowing why I'm here again
Like me...
Oh, it's not your gift to choose
I know you're going to lose
Like me...
Oh, this futile circumstance
You never had a chance
Like me...
The early evening light was streaming through the gorgeous red leaves on this birch tree the other evening and it just required me to take it's picture!
Week 32 - Bokeh
After having completed their switching work in the small Redding Yard, the Day Redding Local heads north over the Sacramento River on the massive nearly 3/4 mile long Redding Trestle.
Just over a mile down river, Redding's iconic Sundial Bridge can be seen. The Sundial Bridge is quite unique, and has a quite a propensity to show up on nearly anything Redding related. Hence I felt I needed to find a way to work it into a train photo before I left the area.

The tiny red heart shape image on the stamen of this azalea flower.
There must be a treasure trove of bugs for these Red-bellied Woodpeckers somewhere close. They're returning about every 10 minutes to feed the little ones.

The battery in my camera had just died, so my husband was kind to lend me his for a few shots. Have to get a second battery for that camera!
Named for the large red band and thread-like tails on the hind wing. Smaller than the diameter of my pinky finger, it landed on a leaf and was rubbing its wings together, like I rub my hands together.
