Travel Theme: Pink

Ailsa of “Where’s My Backpack?” is tickled PINK this week. If you would like to join in with her challenge then please do. Everyone is welcome.

50 shades of pink

Pink is not a colour that I wear or normally buy, though I confess to having a soft-touch pink mouse attached to this laptop. Not by design, it was the only colour they had in stock. As the only girl-child in my family I was enforced to spend my childhood in a  pink room (Dawn Pink) which was quite a subtle pink if I remember correctly, but pink all the same. As a teenager I rebelled and went for purple!

Anyway, obviously the same distaste doesn’t stop me from photographing things that are pink, so here are a few of my discoveries made on my travels.

Do YOU ❤ PINK?

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  1. A good selection Jude. I like the ‘Georgian’ pinks that are found on the exterior walls of painted houses as far apart as Suffolk, and Notting Hill.

    1. I love the Suffolk pink houses too – but don’t think I have any of those in my digital shoebox. Obviously another visit to the East is required 🙂

    1. It is a very interesting city Jo. Lovely baroque and Vienna Secession architecture and a lovely café culture too. Plus the benefit of Lake Bled a bus ride away.

  5. I really like your pinks. Do I do pinks? Obviously not as many as other colors, since I had to look for some time to find anything but flowers. However, one of my favorite photos has lots of pink, so that was a relief!

    1. Yes, pink flowers are pretty obvious, but pretty nonetheless! I was surprised at how many pink objects I have photographed as it is not my favourite colour. I do like buildings though in ANY colour!

  6. I don’t love pink – but I know it has a very special place – and at times only pink will do. 🙂

    also, really liked your variety of pinks in this post – not just variety of pink colors – but also different places and ways pink exists – how cool.

    1. Why thank you Y. It’s extraordinary how many shades of pink there are around us which we probably don’t even notice.
