Photos taken this week come with raindrops, no extra charge. Today's colour for the Poppytalk
Summer Colours collection is pink. I am very fond of pink in the garden, although you won't find very much of it in my house.
The photo above is of the efflorescence of my Cotinus 'Grace' bush. It looks like a soft pink cloud lately. I've included the photo of this Oriental poppy below in a previous blog
post but I'm publishing it horizontal this time. I no longer have any idea of which way is the right way up for it. :)
The false mallow (sidalcea) looked beautiful this morning. This particular one is called 'Party Girl' and I'm thinking she put on her best ruffles when she got up today because she knew it was Poppytalk's pink day.
Chloé has been quite enthusiastic about Summer Colours week and I had trouble getting the camera out of her hands yesterday. She took the photo below as well as the one of Meeko. (She took some others that I will include in Red day on Thursday and Blue day on Friday.)
The photo below is of a sweet little strawberry blossom in the square-foot garden. This is an all-season plant that produces strawberries (a small handful at a time) for the entire summer.
And my final photo is one I took a few months ago, but I thought its beautiful soft pink tones would fit perfectly in today's coloured theme: pink-toned rocks with a beautiful hand-dyed scarf that I bought from
Margie.
Because I am downloading my photos from Flickr this week rather than from my computer, the vertical shots are less wide than the horizontal ones. In the past I've made both the horizontal and vertical shots the same width as my column. I'm curious if anyone noticed, first of all, or has a preference one way over the other.
