October being the Breast Cancer Awareness Month had something to do with my choice of today’s photo challenge theme: THINK PINK. If you’d like to join me in this challenge, keep in mind that it does not need to be a pink ribbon, but any pink-coloured subject. Let’s make this a happy and bright post…
I did not have to go far to find me some pink. This pink delight was practically on my doorstep.
