Sunday Selections #779
In search of Pink
Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.
A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.
Nothing rude or vulgar though.
And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us.
In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.
Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally.
Charlotte's colour of the month is Electric Rose.
In the past I have known this as Neon Pink (80s) and further back as Hot Pink (70s)
Finding things in this colour isn't easy, but what I found in my own home comes pretty close, so here they are, my pink things:
NOT in my home, this crepe myrtle is in the nearby Woolies carpark
Also NOT in my home, this escaped balloon was blowing around in the carpark of the Arkaba Hotel and was captured by a young man right after I snapped this photo.
a neon rainbow shoelace, once one of a pair, this one now holds back the bedsheet curtain by the front door here when I need to get my shopping trolley through the door
some of the diamonds on the shopping trolley fit the Electric Rose shade.
Electric Rose flowers on the small zippered pouch I use when travelling
Tropical flowers on one of my umbrellas, these frangipani are mostly pink
and who doesn't like bright blue butterflies?
my other umbrella has pinks around the top stem and foliage plus toucans on the rest.
my folding fan which is quite old has electric pink in the flowers
many of the folding sections have stickytape holding them together
Electric Rose on my insulated water bottle
pink lettering on this DVD cover
and a pink spine on this one, "Mannequin"
one of my fridge magnets has pink lettering
and I almost missed this electric rose spatula which I have used daily for almost thirty years
the new cover for my new kindle is more electric pink than the photo shows.
last but not least,
the nail brush in my bathroom, probably the only pink thing in that room.
It's surprising the different colours to be found around the house. It's the details that count.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've got a lot of great pinks in your place! Glad you didn't miss that spatula. Isn't it funny how we can use something every day and just not "see" it after a while?
ReplyDeleteThis was an interesting exercise in making you look closely at the things that surround you every day. I like your frangipani umbrella!
ReplyDeleteYou found a lot of pinks. I don't think I have any pink in my house. Now that I wrote that I will have to check and see. LOL have a nice Valentine's day.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that every time a 'new' color appears it has a different name than every other time.
