Ruby Tuesday: Red Bricks
November 3, 2008 | Filed Under Colors, Community Garden/Farmers Market, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Red, Ruby Tuesday
Peek-a-boo! I see you!
The second I spotted these red bricks under a pile other bricks and rocks, I knew they’d be my Ruby Tuesday shot for the week! 
The bricks lay on the outskirts of a community garden/Farmers Market that I recently discovered in the Bronx. The sight of this two-acre garden, filled with vegetables, fruits, interesting-looking birds, and beautiful flowers, in the Bronx really surprised me. By the way, I took the photo of the Morning Glory, which I posted yesterday at this community garden.
As I took photos from the outside of the fenced garden, a man who seemed to be in charge invited me in to look around. Before I left, he gave me a free bag of produce. Later, I found that the bag contained egg plants, onions, plums, and other delicious vegetables. What a nice surprise!

O wow! How lucky to be offered some fresh vegies from here! And love this pile of bricks! The touch of red bricks and the wire makes it all quite artistic!
What a vibrant bunch of red bricks! great RT!
Great discovery of these ruby bricks! Great photo Paz! Happy Ruby Tuesday…
such bright colours in brick
The brick is nice for delineating various plots in the garden. The brick is right, to add a simple beauty that isn’t a picture perfect big $ landscaping job. The free veggies are nice – Eggplant Parmesan, perhaps?
I thought that fence looked familiar!
I really was thinking when I opened this that you find such goodies through the fence.
I love this and the ‘peek-a-boo I see you.’
Someone painted them red? ;p
Oh Paz, these are charming. But I am very interested in the location of the garden you mention. My best friend lives on Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx, and I am sure she would like to check it out. Can you email me with the info?
Thanks so much, you lucky (and talented) guy.
Oh yes, great composition, Paz. This is really a beautiful Ruby Tuesday.
Wow, those are some seriously RED bricks. How lovely that they invited you in and gave you fresh produce too. I love it when NY surprises me that way.
I live in a red brick region and find they have a charm of their own. Good shot!
Love everything about it!
Beautiful RT post! I love your pictures and I linked to your blog for Ruby Tuesday this week.
Peace
haha…that is such fun! Regular bricks, white bricks, red brick…Let me know when you see pink ones! ;o) Happy Days, Paz ((HUGS))
I sure like unexpected details like this, and obviously a lot of people do since one regularly spot this stuff here and there. And such a treat with that free bag of veggies! I’m green with envy, despite Ruby Tuesday;)
Perfect –

LOVE IT! That’s a great find!
A great find for RT for sure! They are awfully red for bricks!
Beautiful and interesting choice for today’s post! I am glad that you got a bag of produce from that kind man.
i’ve never seen such red bricks before!! wow! and how very generous of him to give you a bag of produce.
LOVE the colors!
I have never seen bricks so red! What a great shot and what a bonus to get the vegetables as well.
how very generous of the gardener & I am sure you will make good use of the veggies Paz!
Love it! the produce for you was such a nice gesture!!
We or I was cleaning up some stones and rocks and came across some beautiful red stones that I picked up somewhere and brought home. They are the kind that North American Indians used to grind into a powder and make a red paint from. Your red brick post reminded me of that.
Now red bricks are something one doesn’t see everyday. Nice spotting! That’s a great photo & how sweet of that man to give you a bag of goodies
This is certainly a great shot!
A great shot – but even more
A GREAT DAY FOR AMERICA!!!!!
We have come to our senses at last.
HOOOOOOOOOOORAY!!!!!!
Three cheers for us.
lots of love!
Paz: What a nice capture of such a simple thing as red bricks. It was great that the guy shared with you the vegetables.
Hi everyone! Welcome to first-time readers here.
Sara, the garden is in the Highbridge section. I’ll look for the address for you.
Thanks for stopping by, all.
