Six Shots of Color for Pink Saturday

You've probably figured out I've put myself on a count down. I don't know why, just something in my head that said "Hmmm, Ten Things to Begin With, Nine-Patch Know-How, the next post should really be eight-maids-a-milking." My mind does things like that from time to time. So today (six on the countdown) I thought I'd post Six Shots of Color. But which color?

Well, I recently discovered How Sweet The Sound and the idea of "Pink Saturday." I'm not sure of all the rules but it seems to be just post something pink. Which sounds easy enough. And notice how nicely that combines with my desire to blog on color. So here are flowers in six shades of pink from spring and summer photos.

1. Apple Blossoms2. Columbine

3. Cosmos
4. Old Fashioned Bleeding Heart
5. Coneflower
6. Hollyhock

    Hello and Happy Pink Saturday. Loved your pink flowers of course, but also, what a wonderful thing you do in teaching the quilting! I'm a fellow quilter and so I really appreciate the time you take to do that! Let's visit again!

    Beautiful flowers! I adore the bleedheart - I haven't seen those in years. Do you know if you turn them upside down and open them up, they become "Lady in a bathtub?"

    Have a great Pink Saturday!

    Thank you everyone for your loving comments.

    I take a lot of nature photos. I think I actually have more photos of flowers than I have of my family -- but then, flowers sit still. :-)

    To answer Dana's question: The flowers do come from my own gardens, all except the columbine which I saw at a public gardens.

    I love the flowers, they are divine! I don't get to see a *pink* columbine too often, that was a treat, and I always love bleeding hearts!
