Red on Thursday

And I am in San Francisco admiring the red everywhere. I think there are at least nine in this square, and later on today there will be a full gallery.

The theme for July squares is ‘‘Simply Red‘ and the one rule is that your main photograph must be square. If colour is not your thing, then don’t worry why not play around with some red idioms such as;

• A red rag to a bull – means provocation but for squares perhaps you could photograph a warning sign, or a moment of danger
• As red as a beetroot – means embarrassed but for the content of your squares I am also thinking hot or excited
• Paint the town red– means having a very good time but for squares I am thinking flamboyance!
• Red herring – something that is deliberately misleading, so for squares I was thinking perhaps an illusion
• Red letter day– is a memorable day or experience, so I know everyone will have at least one photograph that captures this. Today’s announcement square was definitely a red letter experience.
• Roll out the red carpet – or why not give your blog the red carpet treatment in July by sharing your favourite images and perhaps a little bit of glamour
