Pink is the colour of the month at Jude’s Life in Colour photo challenge.
Pink is often consdered a calming colour; associated with love, kindness, and femininity. A by-word for all things romantic, feminine and girly.
Yet interestingly, in the 19th century, pink was considered a colour more appropriate for boys; a childish version of the “masculine” colour red.
My photo archives are full of pink-in-nature (yeah, I love photographing flowers), but I’m challenging myself to look beyond my obvious. So here’s my pot pourri of pinks; foodie things, arty things, a sunrise, found objects and some photo-experiments; in-camera and with PhotoShop.

Su, I really like your double/multiple exposure photos. Does your camera have a setting for that or do you take multiple shots and then combine them in Photoshop?

It’s a camera setting (which only took me about four years to discover — I really should have read the manual)

LOL – Is there a manual? Oh my. I will have to look to see if I can find it (both the manual or the setting.) Thanks for the info. 🙂

Hehe. Good luck. With my camera, once I’d found the setting the rest was pretty straightforward.

So beautiful, quirky and stunning. I love pink and green, so you’ve covered my favorites. Although, let’s be honest, all colors have redeeming and magical qualities. Those effects. That rose. xo

You had me at pink. 😉 I think I’ve mentioned before that it’s one of my favourite colours, right? Although I’ve got so many of them – lol! Anyway, it’s a special colour and I love it. I had a friend once who said she hated it, and always made me feel weird when I was wearing something pink, a shirt or a scarf, around her, as she kept nagging me about it. We’ve become estranged a long time ago but whenever I’m wearing pink now, I sometimes think of her and think “Ha! See? I wear PINK!” Silly, I know, but what can you do? 😉

I do remember you mentioning it.
I think that someone who nags a friend about the colours they wear is kind of missing the basics of friendship. I’m glad you still wear the colour you love!

I think so too. And the friendship didn’t last long, for various reasons.
