love the colors, the pop of red against the grey. Very mysterious.

Ah, but what goes on in a House of Mystique? I must know! Of course, if I did know, then I guess it wouldn't be a house of mystique anymore now would it? :) Is that a window or a mirrored flower box? I see, what looks to be, Vangogh's sunflower picture so I'm assuming that I'm looking into someone's window. Hmm, so much to look at and figure out with this image. Great capture!

Il y a du rouge, donc pas de danger, j'entre !!! -))
Tu vas "traîner " dans des endroits peu engageants, je vais t'attendre si tu veux bien ...
belle compo, on dirait que le bois protège les murs, c'est un joli fouillis, la végétation pâlit, finalement je reste à Toulouse ... à))
bon dimanche, Lorraine !!!

@marianne: Merci beaucoup Marianne, parfois c'est en quittant qu'on s'appercoit l'importance de notre chez-nous ;)
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
That's a wonderful red color... my first thought was something with Chrismas, now I see the lovely summer flowers, captured in such lovely light... and my next thought led me to the title, so I'm a bit curious about the house... it really looks somewhat mysteriously :)

@Nina: I love mystery...don't you, I don't know and I wouldn't reveal but I love the place ;) Thanks very much Nina :)
MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom
More great colours here! This time they remind me of Christmas...just like Nina! I'll leave the house mystery to it self and won't ask...!

@MrsAmber: There's just something about this house that fascinates me thanks a lot Kate :)
terrorkitten from Bath, United Kingdom
For a second I thought the light on the pines was stow or frost - hell, I wouldn't wish it on you yet!
30 Aug 2009 12:36pm
@terrorkitten: I wouldn't mind at all, Fall is coming and it's beautiful lol ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
This place looks charming. I love that bold shade of red and the window box of geraniums. Those interior window shutters are unique. Yes, it feels like Christmas but I love the spirit of the image.
30 Aug 2009 12:46pm
@Barbara: I'm not crazy it's got something special doesn't it, as an artist you can most certainly see it ;)
Janice Thomson from Canada
Love that red flower box against the shingle siding. Net capture mon amie.
30 Aug 2009 2:32pm
@Janice Thomson: thanks so much my dear, it's kind of neat isn't it lol
@alex centrella: Thanks a lot Alex lol

Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
Des couleurs étonnantes qui m'évoquent le 25 décembre :-)

@Calusarus: Ca de l'air d'evoquer noel pour bien des gens lol moi je l'ai tout simplement trouver chic ;)
Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
The colors just pop and I just love those old, weathered shingles.
Where ARE you, you pine-peeper gal that you are? :D
30 Aug 2009 4:44pm
@Judy: That is an excellent question, my dear Judy :)
john4jack from Corvallis, Oregon, United States
As others have noticed, it certainly looks like Christmas.
30 Aug 2009 6:11pm
@john4jack: It's strange that almost all my visitors say the same and I never saw it ;) lol thanks Jack!
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
I nearly fell off my chair, just woke up I thought I missed the fall season and it was christmas time.
30 Aug 2009 7:54pm
@JoeB: Joe, Joe, Joe...as If you'd wake up in Fall all the colours are so vibrant :)
Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United Kingdom
Yup, I, too, was thinking it was Christmas and I have no turkey !
30 Aug 2009 8:14pm
@Ronnie 2¢: Ronnie, I'm beginning to think I should have kept it for Christmas, i never saw it...lol
kathycalculates from Indianapolis, United States

@kathycalculates: Thanks always for your visit dear Kathy :)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
Something about this says "Christmas" to me. But then, this is Canada and there is no snow on the ground, so is there a little bit of Christmas in August up there?
31 Aug 2009 1:54am
@Viewfinder: Like I said Vf everyone but me saw the Christmas, I was just intrigued by the angle of the house and the clapboard lol
Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
I see you haven't lost your touch. Welcome back starnger. You've got em all thinking and wondering now. Good job. I think a little over exposure is great thing in the right application.
31 Aug 2009 2:11am
@Lee: the foreground appealed to me too although it was a little over the top, but the house just did it for me thanks so much!
