Redhead
A photo taken at the park this past weekend. It was an unexpected shot. I wish I had a dozen or more but this is it. The color is as it was shot, no editing other than cropping to remove parked cars etc.

May 3, 2007Little Redhead,
You walked right into the corner of my photographic eye,
Reluctant, as any child might be on leaving a day at the park.
You are probably tired, maybe a little grumpy, definitely moody,
Scraping the gravels as you walk
The toes of your shoes scuffing your announced leaving.But, none of this is conveyed in the photograph,
Only your coral radiations captured,
And it’s enough.Bright little flower,
You are as much a part of the landscape as if
You were planted, painted, dropped deliberately
Into the view.
Like a ray of unexpected sun light,
Captivating color,
You are a thrilling, unexpected, emotional glow.
I love a redhead. Dogs, cats, children, Elmo, they all count.

perfect color. wonderful poem.
She’s a cutie
Lovely ! Her hair is a wonderful colour isn’t it ? I wonder why redheads get skitted about their hair, I think it is glorious. Beautiful poem.

Thanks for the photo comment! Natural light is always best as in this one. My one was taken about 7pm,
it was a magical time out in the country then.
I love those unexpected opportunities. I’m glad you caught the moment.
A lovely narration Becca, goes along well with the picture.
Hello Becca , your picture is so warm and so joyful ! Do you know Janine was a redhead and so for my three daughters !!!

I read your remark about the blogring Platinum that you lead . This had not taken my attention . But I have just joined . I hope I used the good way to join .
I agree with you , the kitchen is the heart of the house . And in the past the kitchen was a large room to live in with all the family .
Love
Michel

nice poem to go with a great capture…
Thought of our strawberry blond granddaughter when I saw this photo. The fire of red heads burns in the heart of a person, at least most of us persons. The picture is wonderful and the poem lovely, thanks for putting it up.
Beautiful photography capturing the end of a beautiful day.
