Assorted Brights And Pinks

Let my first be a warning to expect rather a mixed bag as a hail and farewell to two challenges that have brightened and pinkened our April.

I’ll leave Becky and Jude to decide which picture qualifies for what – but no fighting, ladies!

Becky is responsible for all the bright pictures in our feeds this month. You can check out today’s post here. After all her hard work, and with one of her ingenious wrap-up posts in preparation, we could forgive her if she was wishing that, like this lizard, she had the luxury of lounging in the sun.

HeyJude requested pictures of cherry blossom earlier in the month as part of her celebration of all things pink. I’m happy to oblige. Her photo challenge runs throughout 2021 and a new colour is announced each month. Any clues for what’s next, Jude?

One thing I love about the challenges is that they encourage us to post pictures we usually wouldn’t. So for better or for worse, depending on your perspective, here’s a sequence of pink flamingos. The first pair are a cut above; the second, uninhibited; and the last is wondering what it has done to deserve this.

Finally, here’s a pretty pink shrub rose to be shared between our kind hosts, everyone who has joined in with at least one of the challenges and everyone who has read at least one of the submission posts – that includes you!
