Red
A great number of my photographs are from nature, and I find that in nature red is a difficult color to capture with my digital camera. I have a couple of photos from yesterday that I thought might fit the bill, but went back in my archive to find something that is really red. I'll put my more recent photos under a cut.
I found a few red leaves still on the stem, though they look more orange here than they really are:
And I'm always struck by these bushes that I think are red twig dogwood--though the red color was not as pronounced in my photo as they are in reality. Oh, and for a bonus there's a red-winged blackbird in the bush...
One resolution for the new year is to do a better job at scavenging photos. So far so good! :-)

From the color, I infer it's one of the more fatal ones, but beautiful in its own way. I researched it at the time I first took the photo, but can't remember now what it's called. I thought I posted that info somewhere, but cannot find it now...
Every year the red-winged blackbirds inhabit these same bushes by the shore. They're right next to a patch of cattails, which the birds quite like as perches. These are very near the bush in the photo:

Interesting, isn't it, that something that's so potentially lethal is still so nice to look at.
