Happy Third Birthday to Pink Saturday

This Saturday will be the third birthday of Beverly's "Pink Saturday" event on her blog How Sweet the Sound!  Congratulations, Beverly, on hosting such a fun, long lasting event and filling so many blogs with the color pink each week! 
I know that the photo above has caused many young women looking for pink bridesmaids dresses to visit my blog through Google images, ever since my first contribution to Pink Saturday, as it is my most popular post according to Blogger stats.
My daughter is the tallest bridesmaid in this photo that I took at her friend's wedding in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY, four years ago.


Pink Saturday has encouraged me to be on the lookout for the color pink in my daily life, both in New York City and my travels.  More than once, I've excitedly spotted something unexpectedly in the color pink and snapped a photo thinking that: "This will be perfect for this week's Pink Saturday post!"


I was also thrilled to be part of the special Pink Saturday feature done in Artful Blogging Magazine where my Pink chandelier photo was one of the photos chosen to be published!


Through the years of Pink Saturday I've made quite a few pink flower collages so I'd like to share a few special ones again. The pink cherry blossom photos above were taken in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.


This assortment of pink roses were also found in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden


A beautiful assortment of pink flowers in Wagner Park along the Battery Park esplanade in Manhattan.


Pink orchids at the Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden located in the Bronx.

Thank you, Beverly, for bringing pink into my world!

    It's always fun to visit the bloggers I know who participate in this weekly event. I don't go any further than that...I'd be glued to the computer.

    You do an amazing job looking for and finding pink. And I'm so glad that you've taken to mosaics like a duck to water. You can share so many more delights with us that way.

    Pink Saturday is a new one on me! I happen to really like pink. When I was single, my apartment was pretty much done in Laura Ashley pink . . . and I still love pink!

    Love the wedding photo, and your daughter is stunning! Oh, to have some height!

    I love how you put together you collages. My special effects photography needs much work, and I just love looking at the way you combine your images.

    Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog!

    Pat, I wish I could take photography lessons from you. I think your daughter looks a little like the actress Hilary Swank! I don't know if I have my act together enough for this Pink Saturday, sometimes keeping up with all these things can be a challenge for me, but I always enjoy visiting all those who participate. xo,

I Also know that I learned so much about many things in the world that I had never heard of before. And a person is never too old to learn, right? Your pink post today is beautiful , love all your pink collages.I remember many of them. And like you I am always on the lookout for pink to post on my blog on Saturdays.
    Happy pink Saturday.

    Oh what a beautiful share today. I love all your pinks. That wedding photo of your daughter in the bridal party is so fun. What a beautiful background to be in a park. I love it.

    Love it that you actually have a photo that made it into the book. How exciting was that? What a wonderful experience from Pink Saturday.

    Have a glorious weekend sweet friend. I love coming to see your pinks. They never disappoint me. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

    Wow so much pink!
    It is a colour which comes to me each Spring with the cherry blossoms against the blue sky then I find I am liking it all over again after making things in the rich colours of Christmas. I think I am fickle with the seasons! LOL

    What a gorgeous post, and I do love the bridesmaids photograph. Although everything that you photograph is beautiful. I love how you organized all of your collections. Pink Saturday has painted our town pink for three years and has introduced us to so many wonderful friends.

    Have a Happy Pink Saturday and a lovely weekend.

    It is hard to believe we've been searching for PINK for three years, now!!! The amount of pinkness in this world just seems to grow and grow!

    Hope you have a great holiday weekend, Pat. I have loved knowing and blogging with you over the past three years...I hope we have many, many more together!

    Your photography is always wonderful and that wedding picture is beautiful. Your daughter looks like a model.

    I posted a picture of some Alabaster fruit AKA Italian stone fruit that I bought when we lived in Italy and for some reason people are searching for that too. I think that's my post and picture that have gotten the most hits and I have no idea why. I was told people collect it, so I take better care of it now. Unfortunately, I let the kids play with it when they were little.
