I am still on a quest for finding some ruby red in unusual places. Imagine my surprise when I go to work, and, there looming out of the mist is "a ruby"!

Ruby Tuesday prompt

A fog-bound morning
Shapes sidling, looming in mists
Soulful grey canvas
~
I was offered blindness
But determined to see
I was offered silence
But determined to speak
~
Confusing lighting
Waiting for real substance
Like a paintbrush poised
~
I walked in silence
But determined to speak
I was blinded
But determined to see

Aren't we always wondering what will come out of the mist, but the red really is like a stop light, forcing your attention to it alone.

Very ethereal imagery.
These are dynamic yet mysterious and interesting! Really fun pics.
That is such a unique capture. Not sure I've ever noticed a red backboard, but I will watch for one now!
I love the ghostly feel of the photo. Almost spooky.
Very unique photos. I really like the dream quality that the mist gives the whole composition. Nice work.
Have a wonderful Ruby Tuesday.
Well, you CAN see them in the fog. So there goes my excuse for not getting the ball through the hoop. ;-)
Great Gemma, to find two colorful basketball backboards on a foggy morning! Happy Ruby Tuesday! :)
I love the reds glowing through the fog. Very creative, interesting shots.
Good eye Gemma! I like these misty rubies!
At least it was only a basketball hoop, and not some odd scary fella or something. :)
Ethereal and lovely at the same time. Well done.
My contribution is here
I love foggy mornings, how they soften the world and let colors peek out
Your poetry is so lovely and your photography is amazing.
Words and photo to compliment - nice post!
Great 'ruby' find.
hello, Gemma! I am wondering if they made it red on purpose. Perhaps they play hoops in the fog very often, so they made it red by necessity?

Great finds, Gemma -- quite a unique contribution to Ruby Tuesday.
The day will not begin for that basketball hoop until some players bang a ball against the backstop....nicely finished in ruby red!
I bet all the players are hiding in doors cuddling up with a nice cup of hot chocolate in that weather :)
Happy Ruby Tuesday to you!!
Wow, that is such a cool shot!! So very eerie isn't it. Love how well you captured the feeling.
Very, very nice.
