Pink is one of my favorite colors, and the bolder, the better, especially when it comes to photographing it. I love the many different shades of pink that Mother Nature has come up with, from the light pink of this beautiful rose,

and this gentle light pink water lily,

to the ultra bold pink of this snapdragon flower.

If pink contains a little bit of orange, then it can be called coral pink, as beautifully displayed in this pink poppy flower.

Mother Nature can display several shades of pink right next to each other, for example in these lovely cherry blossoms,

or these pink manuka flowers.

Of course, pink doesn’t only occur among flowers in nature. If you’re lucky, you can witness pink in the sky, whether it is a pink sunrise,

or a pink sunset.

Can you guess from the next photo that it rained that morning? Yes, rain in July in San Diego. Quite a sight.

I really like the reflection of the pink water lily into the dark water on this last picture.
