OK, maybe you're not into red . . . .



Alembics are better in color. (BTW, do I ever need a polarizer to kee ME outa these pics !)

It's very rare when they appear together, they're not reeeaallll fond of each other, but they said they'd 'play nice' for me just this once . . . . I told them they really 'play nice' all the time, but you just can't get through to them . . .

Joey's Emerald green Elan helped inspire this one, so it's good that it follows his two.

Same reason you would have a bass the colour of a Royal Mail post box :-)
