More Pink



What a hat to celebrate Valentine's Day! (14th Street and 4th Avenue.)



Yesterday evening the Empire State Building was lit up.
Why is it pink, red and white? Robert asks
He takes this photo anyway........


At 5:30 yesterday afternoon, it was naturally astoundingly rose from the rays of the setting sun.
How romantic....
Beverly of How Sweet the Sound often kindly invites me to join Pink Saturday.
 Usually New York isn't the pinkest of cities.... today is the exception. 
Go here to see more participants.



These pink beaded animals live in ABC carpet but they originally came from Africa.

I think this one is looking for love.


On Broadway and 20th Streets they have wrapped an entire building in a sort of plastic skin.
Wierd -- but definitely half pink.


Such pink cakes in Zaro's!

  8. I love all the pink ... and the green, as in the stem on the cake rose, and of course in the name Walgreen's.

    My teachers taught me that green was the color of the heart chakra. It's healing but also allows one to take 'the next step' - whatever that means.

    Pink is the color of your love for yourself, or so my teachers said. So pink up, girlfriend! Happy Valentine's Day!

  21. Two cheering posts ...

    The world is full of a number of things
    And I think we should all be as happy as kings

    It's good to be reminded that even though things are pretty f-----d up right now, it's okay to take a little time to be happy.

  24. Wonderful, Elizabeth. You make me so homesick for Manhattan! I love the feathery hat. I also like the pictures of the ES building. I remember when I lived there about the different colors for each different holiday.

    Hope you have a wonderful Pink Saturday!

  28. Does it say something about me, that I love that steer? Or, cow? Or whatever it is?

    Love your lilies from today, too! And you know the shadows float my boat.
