A FOCUS ON 'RED' - ZOOM IN ZOOM OUT

Recently we stayed with friends and as always we  went out and about and I took lots of photos.  After a day or two I noticed there was a red theme going on, completely unplanned, and I thought I'd share some of them:

   

 

 

 

I have no idea what this is, hanging in a tree!  Since there were other obscure objects in the grounds that appeared to be part of outdoor game equipment we decided this might be a target... your ideas welcome!

 

The above photos fit well with Helena's weekly neme 'ZOOM IN, ZOOM OUT' so I am playing along and I have other photos I keep meaning to include.  They will have to wait, because right now there are a couple more red-themed photos to share:     

 

 

 
Thank you for visiting.
Can anyone guess where we were?!
