I love anything colorful and I enjoy most colors out there, but I know that pink, purple and blue tend to be my favorite. I love wearing these colors and I enjoy spotting them in nature as well. Here are a few of my favorite colors that make me happy every time Mother Nature uses them on her color palette.

This has to be my most favorite color to find in nature: magenta. It really says, I’m happy!

Magenta and purple together look very pretty too.

Who can argue that all shades of purple look beautiful?

And fuchsia is nature’s burst of laughter, as in this pink water lily.

I featured some pink water lilies a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to capture more of them on camera recently. The sunlight was very bright that day in comparison to my other photo session, so these pink water lilies look quite different in the end.

I recently got the opportunity to photograph more water lilies. I guess it’s full blooming season in San Diego right now. These water lilies ranged from very light to very bright pink.

Here’s a nice selection of these water lilies and lily pads. Remember you can click on each image to view a larger format. Enjoy!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Pink

This week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge theme is “the color of your choice – pick one color”. I thought of picking blue, then purple, then yellow, then red, but finally I settled on pink. Why? Because I’m a girl and I like pink. And living with two boys, I live life without pink, except for the clothes in my closet. Pink can be soft or bold, in your face or more subtle. Either way, you can’t go wrong with pink.

So here’s a splash of pink for you in slideshow format. You can click on any picture to view all of them in a larger format.

What’s your favorite color?
