Denzil Nature tells us that the weather is bleak in Belgium and so for this week he has set a new photo challenge of showing pink in nature (to cheer us up).

It’s equally bleak for us in Bristol in the south west of England and its even snowing here this morning.
Amazingly we have a fair amount of pink in the garden already.
As I looked back through the year I realised that pink is often the dominant colour in my garden and how often insects are attracted to these plants:
In and around the country pink is well represented too at all times of the year:
I haven’t seen any pink panthers or pink elephants but I have seen my fair share of pink flamingos in South Africa and Spain and even closer to home at WWT Slimbridge in Gloucestershire.

I don’t think anyone’s going to top this collection, Martin. Love those valiant pinks struggling through the snow.

Thank you Jo. I think the collection is a reflection that I spent too much time in my garden due to the COVID pandemic and a torn Achilles tendon. Photography and especially nature can certainly lift your spirits.
