Photograph of the blogger as a middling-aged man:

My hair is much much more auburn red mixed with dashes of sandy brown, or vice versa. Not as gray as it looks here, honest, not yet. As for my face, is it indeed this pale?

My beard in fact was rather orange when it first was cultivated. In Irish, "dearg" is a word for normal red, as in blood-red, while "rua" denotes often a red-haired person.
