(The World Is) Red And Green Again

For now the temps are "hot" for November, around 12C, and sorry if you got an earworm and yes, as a kid I was a lille rebel, liking Billy Idol... to my Dad´s big dismay.
Even though before I went for The Sexpistols - don´t lie to your kid and say there is nothing else but classical music.
They will find out and will feel lied at...

THIS beauty I got from the market, though, YUM! 
Much better than flowers, right?
And beautiful!

 
These colors, red and green, seem to be everywhere - same in your neck of the woods?
I found a new color-love, though, D'OH! 
Not red, not green...


This lady sure braved up in the - last Saturday - cold temps.
I pretended to take a pic of the tree waaay behind her, yet she looked and kinda "destroyed" the pic.
Hehe, I remember when in 2015 a French guy from Royal de Luxe lit a ciggi in Perth CBD and locals told him off AT ONCE!
Perth CBD is smoke free, I like that a lot.

Well, ...


In case you wondered why I titled the lady "part I"... here is the whole truth, a truth sadly not only thanks to "Corinna" - it looks since ages often like this in the city  (and throughout):


Either not enough staff to collect the rubbish or we simply have to many one-way-throw-away stuff available. 
The icky doves love it and ... eeeek.
 
And yes. Actually masks are mandatory also outside and social distancing... at least the strangers don´t face each other. Not enough staff to control dumbheads.

Henry 🦁 - he cares for the real thing!
 

 I think deep inside he likes a tomato once in a while, too!
And don´t cats eat grass at times, also?
And don´t we need happy colors right now?
 
What are yours (a post will come up with my new color-love... in a while).

Hello,

The peppers do look yummy. Red and green, the colors of Christmas. I hope the trash collectors come soon, it will be all over the ground. I like the green bike, drive green indeed. Take care, enjoy your day!

Red and Green - Stop and Go - Perfect combination.

Tom said...

...red and green are wonderful compliments!

Iris Flavia said...

Eileen,... and I thought of anything BUT Christmas, maybe cause we have a lot of red and green in the condo, too!

____

magiceye, you are right, never thought of that, funny...

Tom, yes, if you´re not colorblind - otherwise our condo might look grey...

At Home In New Zealand said...

Love that red and green colour combination, it is one of my favourites :)

Iris Flavia said...

You´d love our condo then :-)

Jeanie said...

Love the green bike! I'm sure we'll see loads of red and green in a few weeks. We're still into browns and oranges here!

Sami said...

Beautiful green bike and very brave of the lady to dress up in red from top to toe :)
Very sad about the full rubbish bin, actually just this past weekend Karina mentioned to us that she expected Cologne to be cleaner as she's found a lot of full bins when walking around, and Jose was telling her how on Saturdays when we went to the city centre in Braunschweig, just after the shops closed a cleaning crew and little bin vehicles would go around he city emptying bins and streets.

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie, true, Christmas is on the way....

____

Sami, yes, those days of cleaning crews have been reduced a lot, it seems.
Last time I was in Cologne it was still clean, but that´s at least 7 years ago...

Yes, that lady, wonder how many took a pic of her - or do people run around with closed eyes?

Tom Jones-->...The Green, Green Gras Of Home! listen here It is a special song of HOME where a prisoner see his world before his own execution. read the story behind the song

DVArtist said...

I love the brightness of red and green. Mr. M. is color blind and doesn't see these colors. Red is black to him and green is brown. Sometimes his clothing is all crazy. LOL enjoy your day.

junie/jesh said...

A creative post, Flavia. That red dress is almost too much red:) I read your bio in the side bar. Wow, you must be meant for each other, since it took so long to get married:):) Have a happy life together!

gigi-hawaii said...

I like red and green, too. Look at the Impatiens flowers I bought for my patio!

Iris Flavia said...

Nicole, he´d think our condo is the most boring one in the world! Glad you can make fun of what you have to accept.

____

June, yes, very red, that lady! Actually we didn´t want to marry but it´s safer in case of emergency... We´re as happy as ever :-)

____

gigi, yes, those are such happy colors!

Bill said...

Festive colours indeed! We have red and green everywhere, Shari has made tons of things through the years all festive and in the appropriate colours.

Iris Flavia said...

Pics, Bill, pics, please 🤶

RedPat said...

Red is my happy colour!

Iris Flavia said...

You´d love our home!

William Kendall said...

Very colourful!

My name is Erika. said...

I like your red and green connection Iris. Nice photos with those colors. Hope it was a good day!

Is green bike the thing. A small city Spokane Washington has public bike and there green.
Stay Safe and Coffee is on

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Sorry I'm late visiting today. This is one colorful post. Yes, cats eat grass and they especially like it when they have upset stomachs.

River said...

I remember when I was very young, my sister and I had identical swimsuits every year, with different colour trims, she always chose the red, so I always got the green.
My happy colours are the tropical shades, the aquas, the teals, turquoise, the melon pinks, yellows and of course I love gold.

Iris Flavia said...

William, needed in this grey, I thought.

____

Erika, thank you, yes it was a good day, mostly, hope yours, too!

____

Dora, here we have scooter now, everywhere, for rent.

____

Elizabeth, oh, I hope Henry´s stomach is ok ;-)

____

River, that is fun. Our kitchen is red, the chamber behind and the living room wall green. We have two red "Lack" and a green board...
And my new love... soon. Oh, what would we do without colors?!
