A splash of Red

When Turner was painting he would often add a splash of red to break up a green and otherwise monotonous landscape. Red and green being at the opposite ends of the spectrum wheel the two colours complement one another.

It was one of those junctions where you have to look back hard over your shoulder for oncoming traffic. It was whilst craning my neck that I saw a flash of red in the hedge bottom. I pulled over to investigate.

It was the Lords and Ladies Berries that had caught my eye. When we started to look there were so many. The vivid red added a touch of colour to brighten the autumn day.

Summer Display

The heath was a riot of colour last week. Full to the brim with wild flowers it was truly a spectacle; the Purple Blues of the Vipers Bugloss complemented perfectly the yellows of the Evening Primrose.

A display fit for a summer.
