    A predominantly red fruit, in a sea of pale green, lovely image Caladina. I had to cheat a little to get mine as a solitary red colour.

    Nice image, Kevin, the blurd fore and backgrounds enhance the colour of the car.
    If you go bac into your post, you can remove he two extra images if you want by high-liting ([TTACH=full]17116[/TTACH] [TTACH=full]17116[/TTACH]). ( I removed the A's in the line so the image do not show up in this post as well) Then hit delete. you will be back to one image.

    A grab shot just as it started to rain but I thought it would make a nice addition to the challenge.

    Sorry about the mushy reds but the rain put paid to a thoughtful exposure.

    Wow, that's certainly eye-catching Caladina. I'm guessing it's one of the bracket fungi - or a screwed-up red rag. ;) Nice one.
