How's this for another serendipitous juxtaposition of like colors? While there is a good deal of gray in this photo, look at the red lights and reflectors on the parking enforcement scooter (far right, going out of the photo), the man's bicycle helmet, the back of the trailer (or whatever you call these vehicles), the reflectors on the bike and on the trailer, the flag atop the pole at the back of the trailer, and the usual spots on the back of the Volvo, as well as the circle Smart Park sign on the pole.
It was the bicycle commuters that caught my eye. I've seen lots of these around Portland, always flying a tall flag to alert vehicles to the trailer behind the bicycle. And I didn't see anything else of interest until I downloaded the photo.
Someone commented on my first WRABARAO for more Ruby Tuesday posts. post that it would have made a perfect Ruby Tuesday photo, so when I saw this I thought, "Why not? I'll try this Ruby Tuesday thing with this photo."
Look at the Mr. Linky list at Work of the Poet for more Ruby Tuesday posts.
Here's to serendipity and creative fun for all.

The reflective and highly visible red on the bicycle stroller is what caught my eye.
As does the bike lane on a busy street. Portland looks like a bike friendly city!
I love the stroller too. Great shot!
My Ruby Tuesday is Ruby Tuesday and Baby Boy Lost
Lots of action and red in your photo! Good shot! Mamma is looking good in one of your earlier posts. Tell her I said "hey!"
Great capture! Is that really a baby stroller? Manila's drivers are sooo awful, I'd be afraid to use anything like that in our streets.
Kind of scary seeing it beside all those cars tho!
Serendipity, I can fully understand this time what you mean. Thank you again for it.
Portland is the heaven for cyclists in any kind of it, bike or trailer.
Looks nice but is it a baby stroller? That's scary!
Mine's up if you got a chance, HERE!
great capture!very nice!happy ruby tuesday
Good shot! what are the chances of that? The red is a nice contrast among the greys :-)
Wonderful photo for Ruby Tuesday, Good catch.
Very nice shot for Ruby Tuesday!!
Interestingly enough, I barely noticed the reds though of course I saw them once I read Lynette's text. But what really struck me about this image was the juxtaposition of an emissions-free human-powered vehicle against an expensive gas-guzzling yuppiemobile, both doing the same thing but with entirely standards.
It is a very creative photo for Ruby Tuesday. I would be afraid of riding a bike in traffic..
Lynette, you got a awesome posting for Ruby Tuesday. Reds are all around us. Great capture, good photography as always.
That's some retina-searing red in those taillights. nice continuity.

what a great city scene!
Before I read your comments it was the lights of the car and the flag and red on the stroller that I noticed! Very well captured.
Quite a neat photo.
i love serendipity... and i think that bus floating across the screen seems really cool!?!
