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!

wow so much pinkness and brightness – what a fantastic post. Floral pinks, amazing pinks, intriguing pinks and bright pinks. This is an absolute delight. What a joy to share with Jude, as long as she doesn’t mind me taking them all home with me of course!!
I’m sure she won’t 🙂
I dearly love this. Thanks
My pleasure!
Whimsical and fun post, Susan!
Thanks, Eliza.
What a brilliant and eclectic bag of brights, and portfolio of pinks! Great stuff
Becky tempted me. You know what that’s like!
That Becky … she has a way with us all 😉
Fantastic pinks Susan! Really enjoyed the gallery 😁
That’s lovely to hear. 🙂
What a wonderful finale to the month Susan. I love each and every one of these photos. As for May, well only one more day before you will know the answer to that question.

I’ve started digging out some purples.
I’m sure you’ll have some beauties ☺️
From the lizard on pink to the snow on the flamingo, this post was a delight.
I love the anoles. They sometimes get into the house and we have to try to get them out before they desiccate because they don’t seem to find it as easy to get out.
Oh, gosh! Yes, get them outside.
I have that same pink suit (officially “Big Suit”) photo, but your photo hass much nicer lighting than mine. 🙂
I was lucky. It was as if the light wanted to help out.
Amazing post! and gave me a good chuckle.
Thanks, Liz.
Applause! Applause! 🙂 🙂 So many smiles in here! Love the flamingos- especially Mr. Snowy Head, and the blossom is irresistible. Perhaps I’ll settle for love and pie. Pigs might fly!
I was expecting someone to pick up on the Love and Pride (King) reference, but nobody did.
