Pink sky at night . . .
Aside from pink September photos, I’m in the pink today because I have one day to work, then I’m off for 16, woohoo, by tomorrow I’ll be bouncing off the walls.

a pink what’sitcalled
So I’m having a senior moment and I can’t remember what this is, even though I’ve liked them for years. I tried an image search, and the closest is dogwood, but that doesn’t seem right. I expect our personal plantapedia will help 😉
Today is day 5 of Becky’s pink Square September, I think she found pink on the Isle of Wight yesterday.
Traces of the past
I’m just scraping in with Paula’s Thursday Special, Traces of the past. I took this photo because it made me smile. It’s in a local pub, a very old one, a real coaching inn that would have been just inside the city wall.
You an join in here, thanks Paula it’s great to see you!
Pink Pipes
For day four of Becky’s pink September challenge, I’ve decided to take you to Barcelona.
The colour of these pipes changed with the light through the magnificent windows, as did everything inside. I’m sure you’ll know where this photo was taken!
Becky would love to see you if you’d like to join in for a day or everyday of September.
Cosy toes
I’d be in the pink if I had a pair of these!
I’m joining Becky for day three of her September square challenge, are you?
A mask of pink
Day two of Becky’s September Square challenge, and I found this mask at last weeks street festival. It was one of about twenty belonging to Widsith and Deor Storytelling Theatre who were performing on the Cathedral Green.
All are welcome to join Becky, just post a pink square photo.
Becky’s September Challenge
It’s another square month and for September Becky has chosen pink, this is what she says.
‘In the Pink’ – means perfect condition or in good health, so that could be human or not!
‘Tickled Pink‘ – means delighted, so I’m thinking happy, fun and of course delighted. That could be you or the subject of your photograph.
Pink – you can of course simply share anything that is coloured pink
There is an extra challenge for those of you up for it – can you manage to combine two of these, or maybe even all three?
So I thought this would be easy because I like pink, but most of the pink photos I have are of flowers. I expect we’ll all share quite a few and that’s what I’m kicking off with.
Much as I love all roses, there’s something very special about single ones and this is a gorgeous colour, what do you think? perhaps you prefer the most sophisticated varieties?
If you didn’t know about Becky’s challenge, take a look and join in here, #InthePink

Six Word Saturday
Looking for pink and finding blue.
Hips and Haws
If you’re a certain age, you may have been given Rose Hip Syrup as a child. The bright red round and oval gems were used as a tonic to prevent winter colds because they’re rich in vitamin C. But did you also know they were baked in tarts, added to wine, marmalade and made into soup? Best of all, they were used as anti varicose vein tea!
Now, the only thing I’ve ever done with haws is mix them with crab apples to make jelly, what about you? Well apparently, since Roman times the cheerful sprays of berries have been picked not just for jellies and jams, but to make wine and as a cure for the headaches that drinking might have caused! Women also gathered them for dyeing their hair, I touched mine up yesterday, I wonder if it’s worth a try.
I’ve always fancied myself as a medicine woman, a curandera, perhaps in a previous life.

It looks like summer is ending.
