Redheads go way back in our family history. My grandmother, Sarah Daisy Byrd, a descendant of both the Bruce and Wallace clans of Scotland, had red hair. I only knew her as a lovely, sometimes spirited, white-haired grandma, but her red hair popped back up in blond sons with red-haired daughters.<\/p>\n

Brave<\/a>, the Disney Pixar animated film, featured the stunning heroine, Merida, as that consummate redhead – thick, curly, copper-colored long hair. Hard to manage, like Merida. I didn’t care for the Celtic magic in a film for children but the Scottish accents, all the action, and Merida’s hair were amazing.\"Blog<\/a>Photo Credit: BiMag<\/a><\/p>\n

Our children grew up with prominent redheads in their lives. Two in particular: Ariel, from The Little Mermaid<\/a>, and Anne, from Anne of Green Gables<\/a>.\"Blog<\/a>Photo Credit: LATimes<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t really have much more to say, but just wanted to give you some roses today – through images from the internet and faces of friends with differing shades of red hair. All gorgeous!<\/p>\n

Have you watched the PBS series Grantchester<\/a> (Seasons 1 and 2, so far)? The hero is an Anglican priest, Sidney Chambers, who serves God and helps the local police detective solve crimes. James Norton, the actor, is not a natural redhead, but I’m glad he is for this series. He’s such an impassioned tormented fellow, the red hair suits him.\"BLog<\/a>Photo Credit: Pinterest, Grantchester<\/a><\/p>\n

So that’s all I have for today, really. I would love you to post (in comments below) pics of\/links to one of your favorite redheads. I’m hoping our children will have at least one red-haired offspring in their years of birthing children…but if not, I will love those fair- or dark-haired little ones completely anyway. Besides, fortunately I get to love on red-haired children of friends already….so good to go. [Oh…not the lasses in pic below, but aren’t they adorable?!]\"Blog<\/a>Photo Credit: Reddit<\/a><\/p>\n

Post-script: These two gingers are brother and sister (see them with their dark-haired brother in pic above). Aren’t they sparkly?! Love that girl especially!\"Blog<\/a><\/p>\n
