Dashing home to help the man in red? I have to confess that I can't stand Chris de Burgh - a condition made worse by sitting through little girls wafting about pretending to be angels at the Junior School Carol concert to 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' (which surely lasts at least 20 mins) for about ten years in a row. Not my daughter who would generally be dressed as a soldier/Joseph/toy robot/sheep/camel/tangerine and definitely never anything with wings. The lack of imagination on the part of the Year 5 teacher drove me mad. And before you think I'm a complete Scrooge I did cry very hard every year when they all sang Silent Night with sign language (the school having special facilities for deaf children). However, I had to use the title because when I stopped to get my camera out Nigel laughed and said, 'Woman in red?' 365 has made me so predictable!
PS Better large I think.
Wasn't it lady in red? Anyway pleased to hear you hate Chris de burgh. Thought from the thumbnail you'd had snow! Was about to be a bit jealous. Nice composition.
fabulous shot judith (and I can't stand CdeD either!!!) well here's to predictable 365 - even my mates know when I'm about to go MIA - some of them have even taken to dragging me out of hotel room to ensure I get my shot! This is a fabulous shot - it looks like it's been snowing - judging by the rain here this afternoon, that can't be possible!!
@fueast Ooh blimey - better edit! Drat - Nigel should have said it right!! Artificial photoshop enhanced snowy-looking B&W - thoroughly wet and unpleasant here.
@sparkle No it's disgusting wet weather and I'm about to sally forth to a party in it - was going to cycle but I'm going to make Nigel drive us instead - he's the healthy one so he can stay sober!
great shot and spot.
dislike CdeB, but somehow that song/earworm has an irony for me which i unfortunately enjoy.. honestly, being old skool punk this is not cool/good/happy/etc
An instant fave Judith & a perfect title & I'm afraid I love this song, only the song not the singer mind !! This is such an iconic scene & perfect Christmas photo! Enjoy your party !
Maybe it should be 'Lady in red with one leg' or 'Hopping home for Christmas' I wonder if Chris de Burgh has that song on his Xmas album. It wouldn't surprise me if he did. ;)
This is picture perfect - and very seasonal, be great on an Xmas card! Cheers for always commenting on my pics, no matter how long I've been away, you're so kind! Hope you have a wonderful wonderful Christmas and a great 2012 !
Judith the B/W treatment makes it look almost like a festive snow scene :)....gr8 POV and a good place on the path for the LiR ..almost on the thirds...(I think I made LiR up)...but then Juliette's @sparkle has invented CdeB , so I think I can do a 'big letter little letter' combo on an abbreviation :)
