Today is Pink Saturday and Bev from How Sweet The Sound is hosting this pink event. Please stop by Bev's place to see all the pink posts. June is around the corner and this month I anticipate the roses in bloom.
nce upon a time, when I was a little girl, my mother planted hundreds of pink roses all around the hurricane fence that surrounded our yard. I remember being on my bicycle with my friend Linda Isby leaning on that fence and the aroma of all the pink roses.
Soon, I will be painting Pink Roses...
and bluebirds.
Photographing the roses is another passion of mine.
Arranging bouquets of roses.
Roses in bloom, what a lovely time.
P.S. A lovely surprise a teddy bear of mine was chosen for a beautiful collage treasury on etsy. It's called Fairies, Weddings, Bears, Oh My. The treasury was created by Hoganfe. One of her fabrics that she uses to create cotton candy bags is filled with a pink rose design, sigh! mmmmmmmmmmmaybe I'll put that on my wish list to fill with paint brushes to carry them when I paint the roses pink.
Wishing you a very Happy Pink Saturday.
Pink roses...one of my favorite things. The song for this post is My Favorite Things.
It is truely a gift to be able to paint so beautifully as you do. Your roses are gorgeous and the pictures you take are also eye candy. Congrats on the treasury, what a compliment. happy pink saturday, Char

This took my breath away, Karen. Those roses really are from another beautiful planet! You really know what you are doing. Come by and see my little pink Saturday post that YOU inspired! My photos are so puney, however!! Bisous, Anita
Roses are always beautiful and inspiring. And you manage to let us see the best of them! I love how your photos and stories trigger me too. My grandmother had a climbing rose on her cottage house, a rambler, I loved it. Sadly they decided to build a garage against that wall. Now it is my turn to plant as many roses in our garden as I can! Thanks for your beautiful post, have a lovely pink Saturday!
What a beautiful sight to see when I stop here!! Happy Pink Saturday, and have a wonderful weekend!
