Pink Saturday Flowers

It is time for PINK Saturday!
I was going to post this last night,
I was just too tired and after my last post here
we know I better not type when half asleep.
~~~~~~~
Thank you to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound
for hosting every week.
This week my theme is Flowers!
Here are my Begonias.



There are even more blooms now since
these pictures were taken.

A PINK rose is always lovely.

I love photographing roses!

Interesting angles make for interesting pictures.

You can't go wrong with a Rose.

I know this is not PINK, but it is my first Sunflower!
It finally bloomed!!
I squealed when I looked out the window and saw this.
A person was walking on that green belt sidewalk in the background
when I squealed.
The window was open and I guess he heard me
and kind of wondered what was going on.
He wandered over towards our window as if to see
if anything was wrong.
But then I guess he probably heard B-Daddy and I talking
about the Sunflower and then continued on his walk.
I will have to remember to not squeal so loud next time.
Pink morning glory.
I may have shared this picture last week.
That is okay.
You can see it again.
White with a touch of PINK.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is something I have not photographed yet!
The Naked Ladies as we call them around here.
Do you call them Naked Ladies?
Look at the background.
Leaves are falling around us already.
These are behind the neighbor's shed.

But I get to enjoy them from my sewing room window!
The neighbors can't see them at all.

A side view.

I am enjoying these to the fullest.
I bet they were planted just for me.
I like to think so anyway.
Also I see these Naked Ladies blooming
everywhere I go now.
I guess they are also known as
Amaryllis.
But I like to call them
Naked Ladies myself.

Happy PINK Saturday!!

I hate to be a broken record, but it's cold and gloomy here today and it rained all day yesterday! Hoping that I can get outside a bit to check out my gardens☺ Pink Saturday is bringing a little much needed and very welcome color into my home today. Thanks so much for participating. It's always so nice to visit your blog and see what's going on.

Hi Linnea! Love all the pink roses and all the rest of the beautiful pink flowers, but I definitely love that sunflower too! "Naked Ladies", I have never heard of that term for flowers before! That was new to me! Now "amaryllis"?... THAT I have heard of!! (0; Happy Pink Saturday, and wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend! ~tina

Hi Linnea,
Thanks for coming by today.
Had to come over and check out your beautiful pink flowers, they
are gorgeous!! I just love flowers!!
We played around with the macro on my sister-in-laws camera and took some neat shots. Really like them.
Thanks for the tips, they are always helpful.
So our daughters are almost the same age, how neat!! Is your daughter married or single??
I know she doesn't live near you,
so where does she live??
Hope you have a really nice day
tomorrow.
Blessings, Nellie
