Sunset Pink - Color A Day #47

My husband is presently in the air, flying home from the “family” vacation that only he ended up enjoying.  Our family of four was to enjoy a short visit (6 days) in the Florida Keys.  Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.  Three-fourths of our family ended up staying home, courtesy of lying, thieving Spirit Airlines.  (Yes, I’m bitter.  And, I. Will. Never. Fly. Spirit. Again.)

Nevertheless, I’m happy that at least one of us was able to soak up the Keys colors…especially the spectacular pink-tinged sunsets.   Here’s a taste of what we missed.

Flower Girl Pink – Color A Day #38

I am now in possession of a stash of old family photos.  What a treasure trove.  Today’s color comes straight from this photo archive.  I was a flower girl at a cousin’s wedding when I was almost 4.   Ask any little girl: it’s a big deal to be a flower girl.  And, it was a big deal to me, although I don’t remember many details, and frankly, it was a very, very long time ago.  But, I do remember having a basket of rose petals that I dropped up the aisle, and, of course I remember how much I LOVED my pink dress.  The pink was the perfect shade – not too bright, not too pale – a soft, slightly dusty pink.  This old picture of me at the wedding reception captures the essence of that moment…a little girl lost in the moment on a momentous day.  And, there is the dress,  just as I remember it – Flower Girl Pink.

Eye-Candy Pink – Color A Day #29

Sometimes a color is just simply eye candy.  Example: this vibrant magenta, a purple-tinged pink.   It’s a confection; sweet and yummy.

Color A Day #10 - Vintage Pink

Oh, how I love vintage....antiques, old photos, aged ephemera.  There's a pink that pops up often in these old treasures.  It's a dusty, mellow, muted color.  It's homey, and I can almost smell my great-grandmother's floral perfume when I see it.  The color today is...Vintage Pink.

Key West is best.

I find Key West inspiring.  Memories of this magical place include swimming in warm turquoise water, daily visits from frolicking dolphins, and stunning blue and pink sunsets.
