Ruby Tuesday: Anyone for Tea?

Find lots more at Work of the Poet.

Ruby Tuesday: Morning Dew

I don't know what kind of grass this is, but I love the way it collects dew. Actually, quite a few of the grasses have seed heads in various shades of pink. It's something you don't really see unless you're looking for it.

Ruby Tuesday: Beach Glass

A bottle full of sunlight and sand, including a few bright bits of ruby. What better way to preserve a little of the beach for the long winter to come?

Ruby Tuesday: Tango for Turtles

A pair of pretty painted turtles perch precariously in a pond.

(P.S. They were like that when I found them.)

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines

Saw these babies at Lowe's this weekend. They had Ruby Tuesday written all over them.

Part of a mural found in Wabash Indiana.

Ruby Tuesday: We Sell Boxes

A couple of days ago I posted a detail of this engine for the Round Robins' current challenge, By the Numbers. People seemed to connect with it, so I thought maybe you'd like to see the full view.

Ruby Tuesday: Big Red

We pass this old red combine every day on the way home, parked in what is probably its final resting place. Wouldn't you love to see this old girl in action, with all those gears and bands and do-hickies doing whatever they do?

Valentines Day: Ur Doin It Rong

This invitation came in a paper bag of fast-food chicken last week. Note the grease stains.

You guys out there, I know times are tough. But trust me. Don't go there.

Much better Valentine ideas can be seen at Mary's Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday: Now and Then

Could two doors be more different? And yet here they are, side by side on the same old brick building. I always wonder what's behind door number one.

Below is the detail of the top of the old doorway. I think the texture looks like suns and galaxies in space.

Ruby Tuesday: Signs of Red

My favorite farm market. Notice the bonus touch of ruby red on the left weathervane?

Ruby Tuesday: Flash Frozen

The ice storm that hit the midwest has been destructive, but it hasn't been without its charms. Here a scarlet berry is encased in ice, preserved like an insect in amber until the next thaw.

Ruby Tuesday: Shiny Shoebutton Eyes

"I hear Santa!"

This time of year, the humans are rushing around like lunatics and laps are in short supply. No matter. Raggedy Ann and Andy are Gatsby's port in the holiday storm.

Do you like red? A little or a lot? If so, you'll want to stop by at Theteach's place for more ruby goodness.

Ruby Tuesday: A Riot of Red

Behold Chickadee's, a jam-packed little gift shop on US 31, all decked out for the holidays.

For the full effect, click the photo to see the details. It isn't red, but I especially like the angel weather vane. And the pointy birdhouses. And the sun thing... This is pretty much what my house would be like if nobody stopped me.

Check out Ruby Tuesday over at Work of the Poet, and join us, why don'tcha.

Ruby Arches

There's a new, red bridge in town connecting the city's oldest park to its newest.

I like the contrast and the way the support structure echoes the arches in the church windows.

Ruby Tuesday: Paint My Door

For reasons known only to the former owners, my front door is pink. This does not please me.

In the near future, it will be either this warm shade of red or the dark pine green. (The siding is beige with white trim.)

Which do you like, Tuesday Tribe?


*P.S: We were supposed to find something Thanksgiving-y this week, but all I have is a leftover from last year. Still, there's a bit of red here and there.

For more Ruby Tuesday, stop by at Theteach's place and check out the other entries.

*P.P.S: For those who asked, here's what the rest of the house looks like. So... red door? Green door?

Ruby Tuesday: Bless This Mess

This one seems to sum up the week. We're moving, and everything is in disarray. Ruby Tuesday is a little touch of normalcy in an ocean of chaos. Thanks, teach, for helping to keep me sane.

Ruby Tuesday: Room With a View

This is from one of my favorite buildings at The Adironack Museum in New York. Click the photo to see the details in the large view on Flickr, and for another view of the building click here: Sunset House.

Tuesday: Ruby Red and Golden Glory

Seeing as how my Halloween decorations are still buried under a load of stuff to be moved, I'm going to be about a week late with that one. Meanwhile, I still have lots o' leaves to show off -- and it looks like they'll be gone by next time, given how fast they're falling.

If you're up for more fall color, there's a walk in the autumn woods going on over at Havenwood, and you're invited to come along. The door's always open there, so don't be shy.

The rest of the Ruby Tuesday tribe can be found at theteach's place, Work of the Poet. Also an excellent place to hang out.
