Pick Me Up Reds

Winter’s whites fade
turn to drab grey
and I search for signs
to brighten, lighten
red to make by day.

For Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: something red.

I hope you will find a lot more red to tide you over until spring, V.J. That hat made me laugh, too! I know at least one person we could send one to… 🙂

It is true, a picture perfect winter is short lived before the greys move in, lovely spots of red!

Ask me how I’m doingand I’ll say “fine”, notbecause I’m actually fine,but because “fine” is the onlysocially acceptable response. If I said that I have been lyinghere, for three hours now,willing my body to move,that would elicit unsolicitedadvice and tarnish my “fine”.
