Photo Hunt: Red

I've been thinking for a while about doing a weekly themed post, similar to some of the ones I've participated in before, but I wanted to try something new. While surfing through Entrecard, I came upon Colloquium, and saw her beautiful entries to Photo Hunt. Seems perfect to me, so here goes...

This week's theme is "red," a color which naturally makes me think of Christmas. So I've decided to post a shot of the pretty red bows we hang from our front porch railing this time of year. In fact, the Grump will be hanging said bows today, so it's quite appropriate timing.

I've always favored traditional and clean-looking Christmas decorations, and the way we decorate our house reflects that. I like little white lights, evergreen garlands and big red bows, all of which are in this picture (though you can't see the lights entwined in the garland because it's too sunny and they aren't lit). We're probably going to add candles in the upstairs windows this year. We also have three little white Christmas trees made of lights going down the walk, and of course the tree in the front window.

So, that's my entry for "red". Tune in next week for "long" -- I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the shot I want... so we'll see!
