You knew it had to be one of June, didn't you? ;-)
We went out to eat tonight with Junebug and her Mom and Dad. We went to a Chinese restaurant and while waiting for the guys to pay the bill, we girls drifted out to the lobby.
June spied these chairs and made a beeline for them. She climbed up all by herself and just sat quietly. One of the rare times I've seen her still. I love her look - she looks lost in thought. ;-)
Pink gel balls are tinted pink and used in the glass cube container to add interest to the arrangement. They add light to the arrangement.
At the corner of St. Nicholas Ave. (aka: Avenida Juan Pablo Duarte), along came this sensationally grown-up litte Dominicana, dressed to the nines in pink & blue. She was accompanied a woman, whom I later found out was her aunt, who'd stopped to get something to eat at a food truck. This was the first of four photos; the last is posted
here. The girl and I quickly made friends; she began to play, inventing a game where she allowed a paper subway/bus transfer, placed on her hand, to be blown away by the breeze. Then she took to hiding it and asking me where it was...
Uptown Manhattan, New York City
This little girl was so amazing! Usually, I don't post two photos on the same subject... In the first photo, she seemed so grown-up, here, she is the total child, immersed in fantasy and play, totally unself-conscious. In the middle of the guessing game she was playing with me, she stopped to "feel" and/or "interpret" the breeze, or some other flight of fancy, by making a sudden, twisting, dance-like movement!

Burnt Orchid "Late Form (Neotinea ustulata var. aestivalis) on the South Downs, South Downs National Park, East Sussex England
While not nearly as intense this season, this "Pink" specimen is possibly the most beautiful example of a Burnt Orchid that we've ever seen. With special thanks to our local friend for the heads up about this amazing, Pretty in Pink, Burnt Orchid

My photogenic friend Silvana came around with her equally photogenic baby niece for a photo session. Fun was had by all. I could use it, too.

One more, just for fun. My granddaughter in pink, with her pink boots. Done quickly as she isn't inclined to pose, therefore the tacky chair.
Are we seeing the world through rose colored glasses? Nope. Lately, #FairfieldU is just #prettyinpink.
you'd bring home to meet your momma!
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger,
you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter,
you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
