28 Aug red [34/52]

I kicked myself for not saving some strawberries for this week’s prompt.

See? Even the prompter has issues ;)

Worse thing is, I have all the prompts written out on the calendar. You’d think I’d look ahead?

But I had a bit of luck, spotting some red.

There’s this one, spotted on the side of one of our many country stores …

I just love those old Coca-Cola signs. And they’re huge! This one had to be about 4 or 5 feet wide. It begged me for a bit of an aged look and some rounded corners.

This next shot was taken during the morning hours …

Just a hint of red on these apples, but it’s there!

and this shot, taken in the evening …

Same apple tree, but what a difference in the light. I love that. Evening light is so rich and warm. Morning light is soft and holds a hint of promise.

This tree was in somebody’s backyard and I had to peek over their fence and hold my camera up high to get these. When I was finished, I noticed a neighbor watching me suspiciously from across the street.

Apple stalking. It’s what I do :)
