Inspiration IX - Red Hot Summer

Fun summer colors are always awesome! But I feel the color mostly associated with summer is red! Red is the color of love and war. Such a contradictory, right? That's why I love it. Its a paradox on itself. A beautiful metaphor I think. Hopefully these pictures can inspire you to bring some red into your summer!
