Pink is a combination of the color red and white, a hue that can be described as a tint. It can range from berry (blue-based) pinks to salmon (orange-based) pinks. Its symbolism is complex and its popularity is subject to so many influences.
We can begin an analysis of pink by looking at natural and contemporary sources of this delicate color. First, regardless of your skin color, some part of your body is pink. So are sunsets, watermelons and Pepto Bismal. Depending on your age and culture, you may remember pink Cadillacs, pink flamingos (once considered in bad taste in American culture but now retro-chic), Pink Floyd, the Pink Panther, and the pink triangles of the Third Reich (which were used to identify male homosexuals). colormatters.com
Today I took photos of only things that were pink. I hope these photos give you a taste of my pink drenched day. The blooms for the weeping cherries are mostly peaking, many other later varieties to follow over the next week.

Oh love drowning in pink but I am in need of one of their creations for Easter. Yum yum yum. The sugar creations are wonderful. Thanks D
So far I’ve just been gazing at these fine sugar creations, but my grandkids have arrived and I think they deserve a trip to the depato (dept store) with me and from there on it’s a slippery slope!
