Colour of the Month ~ May ~ and showing off
Månedens farve ~ maj ~ og lidt pral

     Det er den 2. maj i dag, men jeg tror jeg når det. Det har jo endnu ikke hverken været søndag så nogen skulle bruge farven til deres søndagsbilleder, eller onsdag hvor mange bruger den i deres Words for Wednesday-historier. Ergo, jeg er i god tid ... 😀
     Månedens farve er denne her blomstrende lyserøde. Blomsterne kommer fra Rivers blog.

Today is the second day of May, but it has neither been Sunday, for Sunday Selections, nor Wednesday with its Words and stories. I made it 😀 and proudly presents Pretty Flower Pink as the colour of May. The picture comes from River's blog.

I challenge you to find something containing this colour, photograph it, and post the photo on your blog one of the Sundays in May.

If you want to incorporate the colour into another challenge - for instance the Words for Wednesday - this is also fine.

If you have other ideas for the use, this is fine as well - and as usual with these challenges, most anything goes, only nothing rude or vulgar, please.

Egentlig går udfordringen ud på at finde og fotografere en eller flere ting med månedens farve og så lægge billederne op på sin blog, men efterhånden har det udviklet sig, så man må gøre stort set som man lyster, så længe det hverken er uforskammet eller vulgært.

And showing off a bit. I do Wordle, but I do also try to solve Connections and Strands. Most days I do not do so good, mostly I fail getting the Connections - I'm not American - But today was an exception.

  1. Thank you for Pretty Flower Pink - though that image looks more orange to me.
    Congratulations on the puzzle front.

    1. The irises in the photo contains yellow, orange and pink at least. I have a small colour picker program installed, that gives me the colour and the colour codes when I mouse over something on the monitor.
      Thanks!

    1. Sunday Selection is very easy. One or more photos (containing this colour if you want) no text nedded ;)
      I do unnderstand your being vary of Words for Wednesday in a foreign language ... You could try DeepL for auto-translation. It is far superior to Google translate.
      As a test I translated this comment - I can't read it, but you can see if it's accurate:
      Η επιλογή της Κυριακής είναι πολύ εύκολη. Μία ή περισσότερες φωτογραφίες (που περιέχουν αυτό το χρώμα αν θέλετε) χωρίς κείμενο ;)
      Καταλαβαίνω ότι διαφέρει από τις λέξεις για την Τετάρτη σε μια ξένη γλώσσα ... Θα μπορούσατε να δοκιμάσετε το DeepL για αυτόματη μετάφραση. Είναι πολύ καλύτερο από το Google translate.

  3. This is a lovely choice for the month.

    You play the games I don't have time for, and you did them very well today.

    1. I do not play them every day, but then I do not read newspapers - except for the local weekly, which lasts me for maybe 15 minutes - and we do not own a TV, so those games are my "breaks".

  4. I thought those lilies looked familiar, the pink is very pretty and reminds me of the twins who love pink and purple.

    1. Those are lilies - thank you. I am a flower analphabet when it comes to purely ornamental ones. I know roses and yellow irises and peonys and poppies.
      And thanks for the photo ;) I am happy that the twins like pink, It was never my colour and I coose it also as a challenge to myself ;)
