Spice of Life! #CFFC

 This week our blogging host Cee has challenged us to post photos using Salt White. I think I’ve managed to find a few you might enjoy. Salt is the real spice of life after all, even though technically it’s a seasoning. Still, I can’t recall a cake or cookie or pie recipe I’ve ever made that didn’t require it. 🤔

The only painting I’ve ever been really pleased with. 🙂

When You’re Blessed With Lemons… #CFFC

This week’s prompt from Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is part of her color photography challenge for the next few weeks. This week our color is Pink Lemonade. While I have not been a fan of the pink color that manufacturers have managed to create, other than pastel pink, I do so love the pink hues found in nature. I have many flower images but have tried to scale it down here for you, adding a few other ‘pink lemonade-ish’ photos.

Bees ‘n blooms,

how they groom

themselves for

such trysts,

their bliss

unrestrained!

Ten cents a drink?

I don’t think

I have enough to pay

for indulging this way! 

Ruthie,

my last connection

to childhood perfection-

a friend so constant

Hello you two!

One pink, one blue

Do you know much

I adore both of you?

Do leave me a sip!

Oh how my lips

long to savor

the fine flavor

of this elixir!

Little green 

I might not have seen

you there

if not for my desire

to capture the fire

in her heart…

Ahhh… dear magnolia

of the east

As golden faeries prance

under Old Moon’s

 blushing glance,

the goddess of night

will soon take flight

to wickedly delight

your dreams!

What can I say? It was his favorite holiday film…

my rogue Ralphie. 😂

In the botanical garden, nature comes to light! 

A bit of me

creatively…

For in death shall 

she smile one last time

what rhyme

to convey such 

beauty? 

The sun does not set.

She pirouettes

into the arms of dusk!

A moment of serendipity

King of Pops for an adult frozen delight! 

Sweet whisper of life~

the Rayne that brings sunshine! 

Okay, gratuitous preening anole shot.

 But my phone is a nice shade of pink…

Don’t you think? 

Butterflies love blooms

Monkeys love bananas!

Before this plant has expired, 

many will be satisfied. 

Blood orange margarita that parades 

as frozen tart Pink Lemonade! 

Apparently 

it needed a boost! 

Do not weep 

when I am done

for I will sleep

when doth the sun

no longer kiss my cheek.

We shall not speak

of such sorrow.

Look! Here comes

tomorrow.

May we borrow it from you,

Father Time? 

Happiness is a butterfly….

And how about my favorite song about Pink?
