Red and Redish

I have been on the hunt for red.  It even compelled me to ask a stranger if I could take her picture.  She just looked so beautiful working while sitting on a red bench.  When she leaned over to reach for something and I snapped it, I just  knew it was going to be good.....and it was.  The blooms were startling, because even though it feels and looks a little like spring, it is FEBRUARY and WINTER. 

The challenge goes on with exploration of my camera; exposure compensation and histograms.  I love this kind of learning.  I am accepting the challenge and learn more everyday.
