Can you tell I love pink? Yep. I do. And these carnations were the most PERFECT shade of pink. Seriously. I'd never seen them in this perfect shade ever in my life. Or maybe I just never looked or noticed them. They look beautiful on my end table. On MY side of the bed. They get hit by the most beautiful sun light during the day. I just rearranged the furntire in our bedroom a few days ago and am LOVING the way the sun hits everything now. =)
Kind of refreshing too. This is another one of the shots I took on the day I took this one. =)

Yes, it is PINK-WEEK, by popular demand!
Pink is a pale red color, which takes its name from the flower of the same name, Dianthus (carnation) .
According to surveys in Europe and the United States, pink is the colour most often associated with love, beauty, charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity, and the romantic.
When combined with violet or black, it is associated with eroticism and seduction.
The name derives from the frilled edge of the flowers—the verb "to pink" dates from the 14th century and means "to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern" (possibly from German pinken, "to peck").
While the word "pink" was first used as a noun to refer to a color in the 17th century, the verb "pink" continues to be reflected today in the name of those hand-held scissors that cut a zig-zagged line referred to as pinking shears.
Pink was not a common colour in the fashion of the Middle Ages; nobles usually preferred brighter reds, such as crimson.
Shocking pink was a new and more assertive pink invented by Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli in 1931, by mixing a little white with magenta. It became her signature colour.
Pink has symbolised a "welcome embrace" in India and masculinity in Japan.

"Once my heart was captured, reason was shown the door, deliberately and with a sort of frantic joy. I accepted everything, I believed everything, without struggle, without suffering, without regret, without false shame. How can one blush for what one adores?" ~ George Sands

Taken in my garden. Not sure of the name of the flower, could be a type of salvia. I was pleased with the sharpness of the bee & the flowers, I usually only get one or the other!
