(Explore 13/1/13)
So each day has now become a bit like a treasure hunt . . . you go about your day not knowing what red items you might stumble across, but never do you think you might just stumble across a sea of red gnomes, as we did today.
In actual fact there were no shortage of 'red' items to shoot today. After spending the weekend with us, Chelsea was now also pointing out all of the red photo opportunities she saw too.
Apparently all three of us missed todays memo because it seemed almost every one we passed (and I do mean everyone) was wearing red today . . . red pants, red shoes, red jackets, red hair . . . red everything!
Believe or not we even saw four girls on push bikes dressed in white dresses printed with red strawberries, with baskets on the back of each bike filled with bright red fresh strawberries. A strawberries and cream lolly promotion for a confectionery company apparently!
After taking Lola for a walk along the St.Kilda foreshore and out onto the pier, where we drank coffees from cups with red saucers at a cafe that had red lights and red doors . . . we spotted the sea of gnomes and the next minute we knew we were queuing up for one.
The promotion was "Give a gnome a home" . . . you lined up, got to choose a gnome to take home (for free) . . . then you have to take a photo of your gnome in it's new home and upload it for your chance to win one of five $1000 vouchers from a big department store here.
I already had numerous 'red' potentials in hand, but you can imagine my delight when we stumbled across this sea of red gnomes!
Great day! great find!
Also a big, big thank you to everyone who has visited and commented on my stream over the past few days, it really means a lot to me and I am so very thrilled and delighted! It's been a crazy weekend and if I haven't already, I will get to all your streams over the next couple of days :)
There are several of us working on a 365 project, and if you'd like to follow along, here are links to the others:
