Winter Reds

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Collage of red styles within nature's winter greys
~

Lately
Nature has trundled out
A series of bleak
Grey days ~
But
With a little effort
It is not hard
To find
The joy
The sanctuary of
Deepest
Winter
Reds

Pic collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ Red glass sculpture at Red Hill, red sign on an art gallery at Mornington and a shoe shop sporting some red glows ~ Mornington Peninsula

It's always so surprising to me to be reminded that the southern hemishpere is celebrating winter while the northern is celebrating summer. Fun reds you put into the collage. So did you buy anything on sale...

Red is such an outstanding colour and it just makes a statement, especially in wintertime, like its shouting, "Here I am!"

Nice collage, nice words, good idea!

hard for me to imagine it's really winter down there, but it was even harder to see father Christmas in shorts when we were celebrating Christmas up here! I love your collage!

You Scored as Ruby

Ruby, resembling love, wealth, wisdom and purity. Ruby-types tend to think with their heart and not their heads, sometimes resulting in wild desicions, but constantly following love and romance. Ruby-types also tend to have a fair judgement and sweet and good feelings for many things. <p> <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/angeldust_seeall/GemStone.html"> See All Results/Comment </a> <p>

You Scored as The Ivy

In Celtic astrology, you're Ivy (not everything on the zodiac is a tree). The animal symbol that accompanies this plant is the butterfly. The ancient Druids say Ivy people are good-natured, empathetic, optimistic, and social and may have magnetic personalities. However, Ivies may be prone to indecision, disappointment, restlessness or a fear of offending others.

Tarot Card Identity

You are The Empress Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation. The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful. The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
