Pink Saturday Featured Blog

 

 

This week I am featuring Sara at Sara's Fave Photos.  I believe Sara first participated in Pink Saturday May 30, 2009.  Have you met Sara?  She has a smile that will stop you in your tracks.  She is a published photographer of flowers and gardens.  Her photos are breathtaking.  I would love to learn photography skills from Sara.  And, she kindly shares her vast knowledge of gardening.

 

  Now, stop what you're doing, and head over to get to know Sara.

You will be very glad you did.

 

Please take a minute to go meet Sara,

and introduce yourself by leaving a comment.

Thank you, Sara,

for always making Pink Saturday special.

 

Sara has written the following personal message to you.

I've been participating in Pink Saturday for almost three years, and I am sure I've posted well over a hundred blog posts with the color pink. I do love flower photography and since many of my favorite flowers are pink, it's a match made in heaven. What a great opportunity to share pinkness with others who love the color and all the tenderness and sweetness it implies.

I'd like to share three photos with you here. First, a photo of my magnolia tree in my backyard on a blissfully sunny day just this week. Since I live in Seattle which is mostly gray and cool, sunshine is particularly appreciated. We actually get a bit giddy when that strange bright orb shows in the sky.

 

 

 Then, one of my favorite haunts, Seattle's Volunteer Park Conservatory (I adore their flowers so much I wrote a photo book about them!), has this perfect cherry tree across from it. Don't you love the swath of fallen pink petals in the roadway, too?

 

 And finally, just because I love tulips, a photo of a bouquet purchased for a friend. She loved them as much as I did. And the flowers are done now, but the image lives on.

 

 

I invite you to visit my blog today,

Sara's Fave Photos at

http://www.lovethatimage.com/blog/2012/04/pink-saturday-featured-blog/,

where I have a very special post for Pink Saturday,

with three special photos from the New York Botanical Garden's Orchid Show. I hope you enjoy it.

Perfectly Pink Pretties Preferred!

Thank you, Sara Chapman

This week for Pink Saturday

I am sharing one corner of our back yard.

Everything is looking so pretty right now,

and I thought you might like to see.

The flowers are dianthus,

and I especially like that they are perennials.

There are a few lilies and dahlias mixed in,

but they aren't blooming yet.

 

 

 

 

 

These beds border one side of a creek bed

which runs through

the middle of our back yard.

My sweet husband built

Granddad's Bridge

to cross into the wooded area.

Come to visit and chat a while.
