Rednesday: A Few of My Favorite Things

For Rednesday I thought I would share a few of my favorite things. Having grown up with a dad who was a drag racer I have many fond memories of spending weekends at the race track. So of course, classic cars and hot rods take me back to those great memories with my dad.

Here in California we are blessed with some really nice beaches. I always feel refreshed after spending time at the beach. My favorite beach is in Coronado. Here is a photograph of the beautiful and historic Hotel Del Coronado.

What woman doesn't like flowers? I chose this photograph not only because they are red roses but because of the sunlight that shines on them. Hopefully it will bring a little 'sunshine' to you today too.

This post is for Rednesday hosted by Sue over at It's A Very Cherry World. Stop on over to check out the other wonderful posts!

Color Your World

The white light streams down to be broken up by those human prisms into all the colors of the rainbow. Take your own color in the pattern and be just that.
~Charles R. Brown

Just as a prism of glass miters light and casts a colored braid, a garden sings sweet incantations the human heart strains to hear. Hiding in every flower, in every leaf, in every twig and bough, are reflections of the God who once walked with us in Eden.
~Tonia Triebwasser, The Color of Grace

A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanging, it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)

The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life.
~Daniel Boorstin

I hope today's post brings a little spring to your winter. I really enjoy photographing nature and especially beautiful flowers. Here is a design from my Reprise Vintage shop.

What is your favorite flower?
