Hello Red:
ReplyDeleteFor us these images are so very REDolent of how we imagine Australia to be!!
I was so REDdy to see these pics today :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and uplifting , thanks!!!
Top of the Morning to ye RED: WOW, I am reading your post 38 minutes after you wrote it - this is a new HIGH for me. Absolutely loved it PollyAnnaRed. Loved the photos - stunning and some I haven't seen yet. Way to Go Girl - you have taken my breath away once again.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
Lilly
Tourist advice #39. Do not visit the Broken Hill chair midwinter in the morning. Wait until the afternoon when the wind stops blowing. Great photos. Especially the sunset ones that look so RED.
ReplyDeleteI've read your red post and it has made me ready for a new day. Great shots and verse.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!

These are really beautiful...I love the bench photo. I really thought it was a small child sitting on a bench at first! LOL. Hopefully one day I'll get to visit down undah =)
ReplyDeleteStunning, stunning photos. Your website is now officially my "coffee table book" of Australia.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures, I wish I had been born in Australia.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteAll great photo's, but I really do love that bench seat. :)
The colours are magnificent aren't they, how different OZ is in places, just like some other country's OZ has a uniqueness all it's own.
That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting it together for us!
I love the reds of Australia.
And here's me thinking this post would be all about our wonderful red wine LOL.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics Red :) hope you're well & enjoying life. G xx
Oh my! I never realised we had so much RED here in Oz- that sunset at Menindee Lakes is stunning!
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos, i especially like the fiery red reflection sunset and the big park bench how unique indeed :-).
ReplyDeleteLove the windmill one! I could see that as a print hanging up in my place. And cannot believe how red the dirt is there. Wow! PS you needed to add a pic of yourself in there, lol
ReplyDeleteSkip the spiders red is a good colour, a great colour in fact, and the sunset pic is amazing :-)
ReplyDelete@J&L - Haha! Imagine no more! They're all the real deal - hope this doesn't mean my travels are becoming REDundant ...
ReplyDelete@IWBY - IncREDible coincidence that I put them up then, yes?? So great to hear from you!
@Lilly - I'm not a born & bRED Pollyanna - but if I can fake it ANYONE can!! So glad you enjoyed this post, my friend!!
@Andrew - Hahaha! Good advice!! The RED you see on the chair (apart from me) is from the setting sun ...
It's a very RED country, thisAustralia of ours.
ReplyDeleteI love the RED windmill. Is it truly RED or is that a sunset reflection?
These are all great pictures.
@diane b - Just as well I've alREDy got some pix for the next instalment, then!!
ReplyDelete@Delaney - Welcome! And thanx - weird how something can be both cool and RED hot, huh?!
@Rachel Joy - Welcome to you too!! REDuce the travel carbon footprint - take my virtual OZ tour anytime!!
@Fruitcake - Thanx for spREDing the word ... maybe one day I'll put together an actual coffee table book!!
@Beach Bum - I wasn't born in OZ and look where it's got me!! REDiculous!! (sorry, my powers of creative 'RED' use are wearing thin ...)
@Magsx2 - I'm yet to determine what the definitive OZ actually is! Outback, rainforest, desert, grasslands, gorges, rocks, bushland, beach, islands, mountains ... all I know is there'll be RED somewhere in it!!
@Dina - Thanx! Does that include me??!! I never get tiRED of finding great OZ pix, so stay tuned!!
ReplyDelete@Miss G - OMIGOD!! I knew I'd forgotton something!! Maybe we can conduct some research into the RED for my next FavouRED OZ Things instalment when I return??!!
@Dianne - I've only just begun - plenty more RED hot pix to come!!
@Windsmoke - Sunsets get me all fiRED up too!! I'm honouRED that you like my pix!
@TGN - Darling, I AM in the post!! That's me on the park bench trying to be a FavouRED thing!!
@Alessandra - I'll REDesign my next post to take that into account! Look forward to your next Niue pix!
@River - IncREDible though it seems, the RED windmill really IS red!! The sunset just enhanced the colour!!
Oh, I love your themed red collection. There isn't as much red where I live, especially at this time of the year.
ReplyDelete@muminsearch - Welcome! And thanx!! AlREDy thinking about my next FavouRED things post!!
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty red things! I wanna sit on that giant bench!! It's so cute :D
ReplyDeleteTop photos - our living room here in Geneva is white and black with red accents and those photos look mighty tempting to blow up and frame....
ReplyDeleteReally great pictures. I really just can't get over how stunning the red sunset appeared in the pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome post! Great photos, great words. Made me smile :)
ReplyDelete@Trigirl - Even though I could do with some REDuction in size, the bench makes even me look small!! Come on down & join me!!
ReplyDelete@Kath - You crave the toilet shot, right?1?! Email me via my profile if you REALLY want a slice of RED OZ!!
@Bob - You're back! However stunning the RED sunset appeared in the pictures is NOTHING to how it appeared in the flesh! Or whatever sunsets appeared in ... come back anytime!!
@Emma Sheree - welcome! If that's how it made you feel, my work is done ... thanx for giving it some cRED!
IncREDulous post Red! Sunsets unbelievable, wordage hilariious, looking forward alREDy (yeh I know!)to 'red things' part two.
ReplyDeleteOh my those reds are fabulous, what a great collection of photos celebrating the fun and adventures of travel
ReplyDeleteYou certainly had no trouble finding plenty of reds today. I have to spread my "different colors" around. I have a hard time finding varous colors.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. I haven't been to Australia just yet but just from looking at this I think I will have to put it at the top of my *Must Go* list!
ReplyDeleteSara
@PDP - IncREDible the number of words in which 'RED' appears!!! #2 is in the pipeline already!!
ReplyDelete@Pearl Maple - Thanx! Just wait 'til you see the spRED I've got for #2!!
@LV - Luckily RED is the most common colour in many of the OZ spots I've visited!!
@Sara - Welcome! Of COURSE OZ should be at the top of your list!! All that RED looks even more amazing for real!!
Great photos. It reminds me of my trips to the 'red centre'. I'm off to find my photos1
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Laney
This posting is REDiculously cool. It won't be long before you move from the blogesphere and into travel TV I would imagine.
ReplyDeleteI almost missed this, I spend a lot of time outdoors as our summer days are numbered. All too soon, we'll be confined to the house again. Red's the word, energized with only a whisper. It needs no lavish introduction. It gives a punch like no other color.
ReplyDeleteIs that you on the bench? I loved the cement blocks beside the bench for the ladder. Even using them, it must have been a feat of climbing.
Manzanita@Wannabuyaduck
adoRED your beautiful images.
ReplyDeleteeveryone who has flown from Melbourne to Europe remembers the impressive hours of looking down at the RED Heart of this continent.
her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me (Dorothea Mackellar)
Great post, OZ. Your photos are fantastic. I laughed out loud when I saw the Big Park Bench. Thanks for getting my day off to a cheerful start.
ReplyDelete@Laney - Welcome, and thanx! There's RED wherever you look in OZ - so theoretically, I should never be sad, right?!?!
ReplyDelete@SFlaGuy - You're too kind. No, really!! I think my little blog would need a major REDesign before I got THAT kind of attention!!
@Manzanita - Tragically, that's me on the bench. I'm about 5'9" or 10", big (ish!) build - and even I needed the steps!! It's one of the few times I've felt small ... and LOVE your desciption of RED!
@Ann O'Dyne - I'd stoRED these pix for long enough - thought I'd give them an airing! 'Core of my heart, my country! Land of the rainbow gold! For flood and fire and famine, she pays us back threefold' (also DM, but you knew that, right?!)
@Cathy - well, you know where to come ... REDiscover the aspects of OZ right here!!
Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDelete@GGGG - Welcome, and thanx!! RED is the new black!!
ReplyDeleteSo much red..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Weee! What great colors!! I love Uluru. I really hope someday I can go there. They say it's spectacular during the rainy season!
ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful collection of RED from the continent.

@FabFawk - Why thank you! Oh - you're NOT talking about me?? IncREDible!!
ReplyDelete@Aleah - you'd have to be lucky to see that! But it's awesome anytime - and even REDder than my pic shows!
@Sailor - thank you, my friend! I'll be REDiscovering even MORE RED soon ... so look out for it!
Looks like great fun!
ReplyDelete@Linnea - Great fun is what travelling in OZ is all about!!
ReplyDeleteYour world is filled with so much beauty. Thanks for sharing part of it with us.
ReplyDeleteOh, my! Your sunset puts mine to shame!
