Sunday Stills: Make Mine #Pink

Most of us are aware that October is traditionally the month we acknowledge Breast Cancer Awareness by wearing and or displaying the color pink. Of course, we should acknowledge cancer awareness all year long.

In keeping with my overarching theme of inspiration this weekend (see Friday’s post), I’m hoping to inspire you to think pink, our theme for Sunday Stills this week.

Pink is a color in nature that most of us can hardly ignore, from the delicate pastels in shell pink to the bright fuchsias in a bougainvillea bush.

But pinks appear outside of nature, too.

Today, share a gallery of your favorite pinks. Here are some of my favorites:

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month I wrote this post in 2015 of leisure’s role in breast cancer awareness month.

Becky B inspired us for the entire month of September with her Squares in September: Pink.

I have started an Instagram Challenge for the month of October. Please join me and use the hashtag #Octoberpink (see the actual hashtag in the post below–there is a bow between October and pink)

I was tickled pink that five new bloggers joined our Sunday Stills group in September. Please take a look at their posts!

  5. Phenomenal photos, Terri. Even though I’m not looking forward to winter the spring snow photo was a standout for me. So lovely! And a great reminder to be aware of breast cancer prevention during October.

      1. We often have snow fall on crocuses and daffodils in the springtime. Good thing they are hardy! It is such an odd couple – snow and flowers.

  8. Such an important message about what October means in terms of Breast Cancer Awareness, Terri. I was surprised to hear that it’s something that can also affect many men.
    Is ‘Movember’ something that is also highlighted in your part of the world? It’s something started many years ago to highlight the men that die from testicular cancer. Men support it by not shaving their face during November.
    Again, you’ve shown some wonderful photography, and I love the change of colour theme on your blog.

    1. Thanks for noticing the subtle pink theme, Hugh 😆 I’m not sure if I’ve heard of Movember, but I’m glad to hear people make a stand for testicular cancer. I’ve had a friend and a cousin diagnosed with it, with a good outcome.

  9. Beautiful photos, especially when remembering social and health causes associated with pink. I had to think for a minute about the new photo at the top of your blog – once i understood, I’m awed by it. Really gorgeous.

    1. Thanks, Graham! The bee was pure luck (which is half of photography anyway, right?). I couldn’t believe that little girl careening all over that motel (near Yosemite) on the unicycle!

  26. […] Over the past few months I have really missed the Weekly Photo Challenges (WPC).  These were run by WordPress, and were a fabulous way for bloggers to share their photos and express their creativity.  So I was very happy to find Terri’s Sunday Stills Photo Challenges a few months ago.  I’ve  finally managed to link up this week with the theme of Pink!
