Red on black

In the world of Hallmark cards, perhaps because of greeting card manufacturers, many of us in the United States tend to associate the color red - full of drama and passion - with Valentine's Day.  Despite the shade or tone of red, it is one of those colors that photographs well.

The roses shown below are not even quite red, but sitting on a black shawl that artist Gail Goodwin gave me, these stunning works of nature demand more than a casual glance.

Let us think often and with kindness about the things and people we love.

until next Monday,
