Tickled pink

I’m not usually a big fan of pink.

But when Nature takes her paintbrush

And lights up the bowl of the sky with a rainbow of  pinks…

Well, who can resist?

And, judging by the looks of things,

I wasn’t the only one who was tickled pink

By the vibrancy of the sunset.

Who says November is always grey?

  5. exactly Fi….puppies know best especially when it comes to painting with pink…gorgeous shots!

    November 17, 2011 at 15:09

  6. This November has been the best one I can remember in terms of clear, sunny mornings and only slightly overcast afternoons, followed by colourful sunsets. Of course we don’t get the pinks down here – ours are much more in the yellow and orange spectrum. Yours are just stunning – like looking through a rose coloured lens.

    November 17, 2011 at 15:14

  7. Wow. You make pink go with anythingLadyFi.

    November 17, 2011 at 15:27

  8. wow what a vivid and deep color of pink…a treasure in the sky…great last pic too of pups…makes for an interesting frame with the forefround, lake, shore then trees and sky….

    November 17, 2011 at 15:50

  9. Another stunning set of photos. Beautiful color. What kind of camera are you using?

  10. W.O.W.!!!!

    November 17, 2011 at 16:07

  11. Who can resist indeed! Such a glowing, spirit- lifting sky! Happy dog, too! This kind of beauty is not seen as frequently in November — at least here in Seattle, but when the colorful skies do arrive they are SO appreciated and enjoyed! Thanks for sharing yours, Fiona! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with lots of lovely skies!

    November 17, 2011 at 16:23

  15. Your photos are wonderful, and you have a gift for words, as well! The ballet slippers hanging in the tree! I am never going to look at tree seeds the same way again! And the image of the ducks bathing in the purple…

    November 17, 2011 at 17:01

  19. No one can resist such a beautiful play of nature. Even I don’t like pink much but this one is magical. The perception of grey November is definitely proved wrong again.

  24. I personally LOVE pink and a bunch of other colors too.
    this is gorgeous. my sense is that when we are amongst a sunset or rise like that, well we are never the same, it becomes part of us. So very beautiful are your photographs.

    November 17, 2011 at 18:12

  25. So beautiful. Here,” Around California”, they are still burning off the rice fields so I am left with my archives.

    November 17, 2011 at 18:32

  29. Wonderful photos, I love that beautiful sunset with a light fine rosacea.

    November 17, 2011 at 18:33

    November 18, 2011 at 05:26

  52. I saw you use a Cannon 500 D. Do you change the colors or are they all natural? So gorgeous, that’s why I’d like to find out.

    November 18, 2011 at 05:37

    • Hi!

      The colours are nature’s own! All natural.

      November 18, 2011 at 05:44

    Stunningly beautiful!

    November 18, 2011 at 06:30

  55. There is pink, the kind you (and I) are not a fan of. And then there is this sunset! It transcends color. Just amazing.

    November 18, 2011 at 06:30

  56. Wow… incredible!

    November 18, 2011 at 06:48

  71. Wow! What a sky! truly amazing

    November 18, 2011 at 14:11

  72. What a fantastic view! It’s Novemver but it’s like cherry blossoms in the sky. Glowing “by the vibrancy of the sunset” like a mist or like a cloud, cherry blossoms are drifting as a fragrant veil. I’m so happy to see the sky like this.

    November 18, 2011 at 14:49

  73. Thisink sky is absolutely beautiful, and I love the series of your daughter on her pony as well.

    great pink!

    happy weekend!

  87. Oscar wanted to see how he’d look in pink! (And he looks great – the lake and sky do, too.) A pink moment in time to make us gasp in awe.

    November 19, 2011 at 00:39

  88. Hi there – despite all the propaganda from my daughter I’m not fan of pink either – but in this case I’ll make an exception!

    Wonderful
