Nothing like snow on the land to bring out the desire for bright, primary colors.  Red brightens everything and so I ventured out with camera in hand, some props, and an extremely patient model to apply red to the scenes.  This Portuguese rooster looks extremely proud in front of the backdrop of leftover storm clouds.

A silk dress can take many forms in a light breeze, and I did quite a few shots before deciding that seeing a slice of fabric could begin a story in the eyes of the beholder.  It is shown below.

Our version of the Scottish highlands' heather here on the mesa is sage brush.  So it only seemed appropriate to give the Royal Stewart tartan a temporary position in the sage.

And here is the brave Scot standing in the snow, while sporting the tartan.

And a penstemon waving its flag from beneath the snow.   Obviously, this is not a winter shot but one taken in the midst of a late spring snow.

Thanks to Jean and Sam, TTT, Donna, Barbara, and Geula for commenting during this busy time of year, to Ingrid and Robert for the rooster, and to Fred for his styling.
