Simply Red At the harbor

I had various Red Images that are more red for position on this last day of #SimplyRed. Thanks for this challenge Becky, I had fun.

Lahti harbour

But, I am still going to post these most recent photos.

Happy days of summer

We went shopping in Lahti, and decided to have lunch at the harbor.


This reflection Sibelius house on the glass fence at restaurant caught my eye
The clouds created great leading lines in the same as the 🌲

Such a tasty lunch

I was encouraged to stay in my hammock in the comments of my last post. So I did as recommended 😀 Now I can point out how hard work it is to pick blueberries 🫐… 😂

Hard at work. He picked about 5 liters from our own yard.

A rustic entrance featuring vintage doors, a patterned curtain, and a decorative barrel, showcasing a charm of old barn items.

We went to have look at this place that sells old stuff from barns. We left empty handed, except for these photos.

Simply Red – jump suit

Sunday morning I went to have coffee in the city and by the sea and what did I see, a lady in red. Just a girl, but lady in red sounded so much better ♥️😀

Simply red – decoration

I tried different edits to this decoration I have in my garden; originally, it is a candle holder – decoration. However, over time, I noticed I don’t burn candles so often, so I use its visual appeal and blend it more harmoniously with the surrounding plants. Now the candle holder is a focal point on the table under the oak tree. Here are some edits of the same subject, sharing them just because I took and edited them 🙂

Simply red and delicious

Here a toast to Becky´s July Squares – #SimplyRed.

I enjoyed a day with a long time friend by the sea.

Cheers

The geese were polite to towards the drivers as they used the crossing to get to the other side of the road

Grandson’s Joyful Moments enjoying the Blueberries

In the midst of the lush greenery, the vibrant red cap pops out, drawing the eye like a beacon against the backdrop of woods greens. This is a joint post for Six-Word Saturday 7.19.25 and #SimplyRed19 . Hopefully it is just enough red.

Simply red – traditionally

Buildings painted in traditional red ochre paint that is popular in the Nordics effectively embody the warmth and character of a community deeply rooted in its cultural heritage and appreciation for nature. This distinguished color, prominently displayed on structures in picturesque villages and tranquil landscapes, not only enhances the visual appeal but also evokes a profound sense of home for the residents. The historical significance of red ochre paint reflects the pride that Nordic individuals take in their craftsmanship and the narratives intertwined with their dwellings.

I’m at my summer house, in the countryside, inside watching outside as the rain pours down the windows, creating a rhythm with the wind that makes everything feel peaceful. As I try to pass the time, I took a few photos, capturing the raindrops cascading down the glass, and had an ‘aha’ moment when I remembered that our shed, in the corner of the yard, is painted a red, which contrasts with the lush greenery surrounding it, just what I need for simply red today.

Apples, Simply red 7


Red apples are like the overachievers of the fruit world, flaunting their bright red jackets and screaming, “Look at me! I’m healthy!” They don’t just catch your eye; they practically do a little dance on the grocery shelf, coaxing you to munch on their juicy, crispy goodness. Legends say that these red beauties are the tempting fruit of choice, luring us in with their sweet charm—just try not to bite into one and imagine it’s forbidden! as A last thought, I for some reason associated red apples with Christmas.

A close-up of a shiny red apple, highlighting its vibrant color and texture.

Granny Smith apples, those sassy little green gems, are like the zesty grandma who sneaks you cookies while insisting on a kale salad for health! With their vibrant skin glowing like an emerald on a sunny day, they practically shout, “Stop right there and savor this tangy delight!” Taking a bite is almost like receiving a playful pinch that jolts your taste buds awake; it’s so refreshingly sharp, you might just second-guess if a lemon moonlighted as your snack! I had to add something about my favorite apple 🍏

A red rose, symbolizing love and beauty.

O my Luve’s like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June:
O my Luve’s like the melodie,
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

That is a verse from a a song by Robert Burns. It was written in 1794.
