In the Pink
What's your favorite color?
I go back and forth,
but today,
a day of misty grays and spring greens,
my favorite color is
pink.
The delicate pink of the unfurling magnolia blossoms,
the more intense hue of its tight buds.
The in-your-face "notice me pink"
of the flower stand
along a country road.
The sweetly old-fashioned pink
in paper ephemera
and vintage wanna-be.
The baby-girl pink of little heart-shaped soaps,
smelling sweetly of carnations
or tearoses
smelling sweetly of carnations
or tearoses
The mottled pinks and peachy-pinks
of tulips, opening up and showing
their blushing cheeks to the sun.
The sunset and sunrise pinks that dance
with the boundless blue sky,
so purely painted by the Divine Artist
that the colors can't quite be replicated
by mortal artists, no matter how talented.
I'm in the pink today.
What color paints itself into your soul?

As for my all-time favorite, it has to be blue -- which has even more moods than pink, I think.
Come visit me sometime at the wildflower studio blog :)

I started this blog after a trip to Italy in March, and as a way for family and friends to scroll through way too many photos.
The blog is slowly taking on a life of its own... and is becoming a new hobby!
Now, as I get more mature (euphemism for older)I am more into purples and sometimes when the mood seizes me, autumnal colors appeals most.
but in terms of my favorite color, for as long as I can remember green has always topped my favorite color list....
wonderful pics!
