Red: That Envelope


Okay, so I know that "red" was my own challenge word, but I really couldn't come up with anything I was satisfied with. Finally, while I was making dinner, taking pictures of tomatoes and peppers, I thought of my Netflix envelopes upstairs. I get really excited whenever I see these red envelopes in the mail, knowing that I've got something new to watch. Currently at home: the last two discs of season 4 of Gilmore Girls. I was disappointed with season 3, but I watched all of season 4 in a week flat. Loved it! My daughter loves playing with pretty much anything.

About the photo: I have a Canon Power Shot SD850 IS Elph that I am learning a lot about because of this blog. During the black and white challenge, I discovered my "color accent" setting, which I used for this photo. This is SOOC.

I was trying to come up with a good title for this photo, and my husband said I should call it "Free Advertising"...guess it worked. :)
