Sara Duckett of Sadie Olive designs is running a fun I Saw Red challenge this week—post a photograph with something red in it as many times as you can (thanks to Artsymama for pointing me in Sara’s direction). Now I have never had much use for red. Truth be told, I don’t much like it—it is too bold, too bright, too much. So this sounds like a great way to stretch myself and broaden my colour palette. My first entry for the challenge is, predictably, a picture of Nicco (who loves red and has plenty of red clothes).

I rather like how his red t-shirt stands out among the ochre and dull green of the Mediterranean scrubland around him…
