It’s time for the Square challenge again! This time the prompt is anything Red, and the only rule is the photo you use Must be Square! It’s a lot of fun to see what everyone comes up with. 🙂

I was reading in a Wiki article about these odd looking fish. They can grow to as long as 18 inches long, and they are very poisonous. They have red and black striped color as a warning that their 18 spines radiating out from their body, are venom tipped!

To read about the lionfish, and see more photos here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionfish

This is a Lionfish sitting in a terracotta bowl. It was at the Kansas City Aquarium we visited one year. I have a real fish phobia, but this one doesn’t look very fishy so I took it’s picture. haha 🙂

Lots of red and black and spikes and legs looking things on him.

Color your World: Bittersweet

Today for Color Your World we have things that look like the Crayola Crayon called Bittersweet.

  • Crayola Crayon – Bittersweet
  • Orange flowers that look a bit bittersweet
  • Bittersweet Color info – hue family of orange, first introduced in 1949
  • My drawing of a rectangle with triangles on top, colored bittersweet & the word written in the middle
  • My cat Cricket peeking out of a quilt that has bittersweet elements
  • My art mosaic of three horses, one is bittersweet
  • A Lion Fish in a bittersweet color pottery bowl (seen at the Kansas City MO aquarium)
  • A spider in a cup – the cup was red plastic outside/white inside, but the lighting makes it look bittersweet
