Photo Hunt - Red
The theme of this week's PhotoHunt is red. There's not much left in the garden but it's good to see the first berries on the holly
Makes me want to sing "the holly and the ivy or is it berry..." time to take out the Christmas cds..Happy hunting... http://happywonderer.wordpress.com/2007/11/30/photo-hunters-red-oxnard-santa/
Feeling like a "Red coming out from Under the Bed" this week after our federal elections, I love the Chrismassy feel to your post. Even though we in Oz do not have holly fruiting at this time of the year :)
