Photo Friday

It is Photo Friday today!!
Current challenge: pink




Posted by Picasa


Mother Nature's pink. Does it get any prettier? or pinkier?





(A bougainvillea, can you tell I love this plant? and can you guess I have to look it up every time because I still don't learn how to spell its name?)

A vacation pic from last december in Santiago, Chile, local summertime.

  1. I love that plant, too! It surely is the most beautiful of all the viney tree like flowering plants, ever! I remember the first time I became accutely aware of it was soooo many years ago on the Big Island..(Hawaii) where it was growing everywhere in an abundance of colors...some I'd never seen before...Is that picture from your Garden Mar? It's fantastic!

    Here from Michele today!

  8. I love bougainvillea too, and like Naomi, the first time I saw it growing (except in a pot) was on the Big Island. I have also seen it in Bermuda and Barbados, where it gets at least 18 feet tall and forms the most gorgeous hedges you'll ever see. I love the salmon/coral-colored ones!

    Michele sent me this time, Mar.

  14. Beautiful! I still can't believe I posted a pink photo and didn't know it was the assignment for Photo Friday...which I have yet to play (consciously)!

  16. Michele sent me again, Mar.

    I scrolled down a bit to comment on a different post. I love the picture of the bougainvillea. I've never had one but I read the name all the time in Sue Grafton's books. They take place in Santa Teresa (which I think is a thinly disguised Santa Barbara) and apparently bougainvillea blooms all over.
