Six word Saturday

Not enough week- too many challenges!

imagesCA3IIGP0So, I’m going to do “a challenge within a challenge”.

PINK! 

How boring, I thought!  That means girly things, flowers and sunsets.  But you know from last week that I love flowers and sunsets.  It’s two years this week since my first post and in all that time I’ve only done the CBBH Challenge four times, though I love Marianne’s work at East of Malaga.  Time to up the numbers!

Pretty pink, in Silves

Pretty pink wall, in Silves, the Algarve

This is the flower I keep seeing everywhere at the minute
Pink perfection, the hydrangea
Or it’s paler friend
This guy is just about finished in our garden
But there’s always plenty of pink shrubbery
Two shy little pinks
The subtlety of these tiny pinks with their protective berries
But for pure flamboyance!

Enough of the flowers.  How about some girly things?  As usual, click on any of the gallery photos for close ups and my cheery commentary.

Anyone got a birthday today?

Anyone got a birthday today?

Such a cute purse!
Sophisticated lipstick holder?
Little girls have such lovely choices these days!
And matching sneekers?
Are you a Minnie fan?
Pooh is gorgeous for tiny tots!
I guess I have to accept it- Winter’s coming

Which sunset to finish with?  That’s the question!

Do you like this one, reflected in the puddle?

Do you like this one, reflected in the puddle?

Or the drama of this one?

Or maybe the drama of this one?

Well, I guess that’s enough pink to complete this challenge, and hopefully entertain my Six word Saturday readers too.  Thanks, Cate, for double hostessing!

With her challenge, Marianne traditionally invites you to introduce two bloggers whose posts you have commented on in the past month.

I have been following Richard at A Bit of Culture since he started his blog, and long before that with his superb, informative articles on Simonseeks.  Go and say “hi” for me!

Having accepted that Christmas might just be around the corner, I thought you’d like to see Cath’s beautiful craftwork on Lizzie Rose Jewellery.  She likes Portugal too, so we’re bound to be friends.

Naturally, a pink logo to finish!  Don’t forget to visit East of Malaga.

  2. I don’t do challenges but applaud those who do. I’m doing good to get a blog up every two weeks as it is. Not enough hours in a day! Like Viv, I’m not a pink person, especially clothing, but those skies and flowers are nature’s gift to us.

    1. I’m not at all sure why I do, Lynne. It’s essentially a chasing popularity and followers ploy, after all, and I tell myself that’s not why I blog. (I don’t always believe myself though 🙂 ) Do you work? I can’t remember. If I did it would be an absolute impossibility.

  7. Gorgeous pink gallery, Jo. You can’t go wrong with flowers and sunsets. Love the other girlie stuff too. I agree with you…….too many challenges, too little time. I have all my pics, but need to get ‘a round tuit’. 🙂

  10. Hi Jo ~~ Yes, very “Pretty in Pink” today. My favorite was probably the first one, the Balcony in Algave. A high favorite too is the Peppa Pig coat. If my granddaughter (Londonite) were to see this she would want it. Maybe she has seen but they have to wear uniform coats and jackets to her school.

    If I did pink I would post a couple of pink cars or three that I have captured on digits in the last few years. We don’t see many. I may have let a Pink London Taxi get away this summer.

    1. Evenings I usually sit in the armchair with my back to the window, for maximum light, but as soon as it falls dusk I’m craning over my shoulder, Laurie 🙂 Or grabbing the camera if it’s a good one.
