Think Pink!

Sight and Sound This little flower princess is a Mattel vintage Kologne Kiddle called "Lily of the Valley" from 1968. She stands just 2 inches (5.08 cm) tall and still smells like her name, even after all these years. I remember going to the store with my allowance and buying these liddle dolls (for 68 cents a piece) when I was a kid. :) From John Lennon's "Milk and Honey" Album (1984) My Little Flower Princess My Little Flower Princess Demo: My Little Flower Princess

Sight and Sound I found this photo that I took almost exactly 2 years ago with my (then) new camera. Thought I'd pair it with this music. Pat Metheny from his LP called "The Pat Metheny Group" (1978) April Wind/April Joy April Wind/April Joy April Wind/April Joy

TSC Visual Pun (another one in a note) "Saving Your Bacon" (I only had "veggie" bacon lol.) "If something saves your bacon, it saves your life or rescues you from a desperate situation. People can also save your bacon." Here's a link to the origin: "Saving Your Bacon Bacon Brothers (at Darryl's House!) Bacon Brothers or Bacon Brothers

TSC - Sight and Sound Diptychs I've always loved little piglets and I have a small salt and pepper shaker collection of them so they are my focus for this week's challenge. I chose a song from Linda Ronstadt's 1970 "Silk Purse" album to go with my diptych: I'm Leavin' It All Up to You

TSC and Sight and Sound "Make a photograph that portrays creativity." An old photo of an apple blossom that I put through a kaleidoscope effect. James Taylor (Sweet Baby James 1970): Blossom or Blossom

Sight and Sound I'm not really sure if Carly Simon is singing about Almond Roca candy here, but this is kind of how I feel about its buttercrunch, chocolaty, toffee goodness. Let the season begin! :D Carly Simon from her 1971 "Anticipation" album: Live: I've Got to Have You Album: I've Got to Have You

Washington's State Flower

Soundtrack to Life The late and wondrous Kenny Rankin from his 1975 album "Inside" (I could only find this on Spotify, but couldn't link to it, hence the little player for this one.)

Nice on black.

TSC - High Key ~ High Tea Well, a couple of years ago I made a photo light box from instructions I found on the internet. I never had any luck getting really great shots with it, but thought I'd try it for this challenge now that I know about the "exposure value" (EV) setting on my camera. I took some pics with it stepped up a couple notches (keeping ISO at 160) and was able to get a much brighter, lighter photo. I used 3 photo lights and the light coming in the window to light the scene. I also did a little p.p. This is new for me so I appreciate any constructive criticism. Thank you! This is "Foley Bone China" Made in Merry old England (a gift from my sister)

TSC- Looking Down Looking Down at Easter Breakfast Hoppy Easter Everyone!
