Red Letter Day...
On those rainy summer days at the cottage, when one is played out, fished out and the only chores left are outside jobs, a well stocked library can be ever so brightening. One shelf is stacked with old National Geographics. The articles are always enlightening, something new to be learned at the turn of every page. I like looking at the ads! But what I find most striking has got to be the photographs!
Romour has it that shooters for National Geo always took a red bandanna with them on assignments. A splash of red always brought a photo together, or at least the viewer's eye to the frame. 
Green lies opposite on the spectrum to red. But green is not the opposite of red. Just as hate is not the opposite of love. The opposite of love is apathy. As such, the opposite of red, is gray.
My eye is always drawn to the red in a photo, rarely the gray!
