Square September: Pink

Becky’s September square photo challenge Day two!  She would like us to share photos which embrace ‘pink’ –  there could be pink in the photo, the subject or photographer could be ‘tickled pink’*, or indeed looking ‘in the pink’*.  A photo that manages to do all three things is the ultimate offering.

I was tickled pink to capture this fine and healthy lion looking at the camera and I do believe there is a smidgen of pink on his nose.

*in the pink’ means in perfect condition, or in good health, and ‘tickled pink’ means delighted.

Becky’s September square photo challenge begins today!  She would like us to share photos which embrace ‘pink’ –  there could be pink in the photo, the subject or photographer could be ‘tickled pink’*, or indeed looking ‘in the pink’*.  A photo that manages to do all three things is the ultimate offering.

Can’t get much pinker than this shop window display in Paris, with the added pink frame. It certainly caught my eye.

Just a few more roofs in squares…

It’s July and the 30 day challenge from Becky.  ‘The Life of B’ has ended. But here are some that got away.

And possibly the building with the most magnificent roof of them all.
The Taj-Mahal

Once again a big thank you to Becky for hosting this challenge. I can’t wait to see what idea she has for September. In the meantime I hope she has a chance to put her feet up and relax. And a big thank you to everyone who took time to like and comment on my entries. It has been a fun month 🙂

And in case anyone was wondering which was the most popular of my roofs I had a look at the stats:

The winner is Lisbon on day 14 with 39 likes and 73 views. Ludlow, day 17 and Potting Shed, day 13 both received 61 views, but Prague on day 16 was next with 43 likes and 59 views.
