PINK


"Schoolgirl"

and its May


Mme Alfred Carriere

so my first thoughts were floral



Kazanluk


but I did find some other random pinknesses



East London, Shoreditch




Cosmos




lost in sarf london




Bougainvillia petals in Perpignon




Raspberries from my garden




South London - recycling for girlie stuff?




Hollyhock




random in so many ways....


....and the final pinkness is less random
and I shan't comment on it for fear of ranting, but there are a couple of interesting articles



First this one, reporting on a study widely reported as "proving" that there really is a female preference for pink

and secondly, an analysis and de-bunking of this study, or at least of the way it was reported and interpreted.....


You'll find more pink over at Theme Thursday

  3. Ha spring has sprung! I wonder if those roses smell as beautiful as they look! Again, I love your 'found' objects. Camera's coming out today but I'm betting pink will be 'elusive'.

  7. Beauteous, Letty. From the roses to the building to the lost glove...all lovely. As usual. (I look at my David Austin catalogue before I go to sleep every night lately. Closest I'll get to having my own anytime soon. Sniff.)

  21. That picture from Shoreditch is wonderful isn't it? It reminds me of Eastern Europe. I have been sending out some of your made4aid graffiti cards recently. They are lovely. xJ

  22. Hah! I loved the Shoreditch photo from the first look. The paint peeling is part of the charm! So French! I love that look!! It's perfect just the way it is.
