There is something about pink that warms the heart. It is the color of innocence and love. Valentine’s Day brings out the color pink in every nook and cranny. Pink hearts, balloons, cards, stuffed toys, the works. To me though, pink brings to mind, baby toes and the sweet smell of baby lotion that comes in pink plastic bottles. Yes, that is the only one I use.
Pink is any of the colors between bluish red (purple) and red, of medium to high brightness and of low to moderate saturation, says Wiki. Here are some hues of pink found in flowers in and around my house.
A couple of pink hibiscuses caught my eye while visiting a friend. I fished out my camera immediately and clicked. Of course the butterfly who seated itself on the flower just then probably wanted to be showcased on Shail’s Nest post. But when I asked for a second sitting to get a better picture, it flew away all a-flutter.
Another pretty pink I have noticed in Nature is Luci’s tongue which she uses with alacrity to slobber all over us.
No one can beat Nature when it decides to go all out and paint the canvas that is the sky. This is how the result looked when I woke up one fine morning. Awesome, isn’t it?
One last picture, one of the pretty pink on a doughnut 🙂 What if we can’t beat Nature? We can surely join in?!

Yes, that had been a truly spectacular display in the sky. How is Pumbaa? 😀 Luci is still the Bhadrakali, but much more toned down now. 😛

Johnson’s baby lotion is the only one I use too!
Loved the pink hibiscus and the sky pic. And such lovely-looking doughnuts!
Thank you! 🙂 Oh *same pinch* 😉
I hope the Doc gave a pink signal too. Lovely photos.
I got some lovely pink tablets. 😉 Naah, just kidding. They are actually a sedate white. Wish they were pink though. Then I’d have clicked a pic and added it here 🙂
The pink sky looks lovely! and so does the pink donut!
Thank you Deepa 🙂 I like them both too.
Love Luci’s tongue and the general pink in her personality 🙂 All this pink reminds me of Gulabi Gang too 😀
You know, all the time I was making this post, Gulabi Gang was in my mind!
The sky is beautiful as is Luci’s tongue. Apart from that, not a fan of pink here.
You can’t call me a fan either. But yeah, they all look lovely. 🙂
Luci’s tongue is the perfect pink. Do you think she licked the sky pink one fine morning? 🙂
What imagination! 🙂 I’d love to think it was her doing. Thanks Amit! 🙂
pink.. most of the times referred as feminine na.. i remember as a teenager i was so scared to tell loud, i like pink as there was some condom advt in TV with name pink..
i just loved all the pics.. 🙂
Lol, was there one with that name?! Yeah pink certainly is considered a feminine color for some reason!
Lovely pics, pink made so eye catching…i like the flowers most…
Thank you! Yeah, I do love the flowers too 🙂
Luci’s pink tongue “,)
That’s lots of pink… like the pinkish blue skyline and Luci’s pinky tongue! 😀
