If you are a regular reader here you will know that pink is my favourite colour, so perhaps I should have known that 23rd June was 'National Pink Day' but I didn't! I looked further into this day and, "as is the case with a number of digital-age holidays, the exact origins and celebrations of National Pink Day have been lost in time. Apparently 'National Pink Day' is celebrated on June 23 every year. As you might imagine, it’s a day to celebrate the meaning, history, and beauty of the pale shade of red. Surveys in both the United States and Europe found pink to be most commonly associated with femininity, sensitivity and tenderness." Read more about this day here
So in honour of the colour pink, I share a few photographs,
all were taken a while ago
my pink coat keeps me warm in cooler days
looking back at summer fun,
alas even my pink trainers didn't bring a hole in one at dinosaur golf! LOL!
Salmon in a creamy rosé sauce with tarragon and pink peppercorns
makes an enjoyable low carb meal
can I pour you a refreshing glass of Rose wine?
Did you know that National Rosé Wine Day
is held every year on the second Saturday in June,
I missed that too! Oh dear!
Did you know about these two days?
Perhaps your favourite colour has a special day!

I could have worn my pink running shoes had I known...
...this is all new to me. I'm one BIG guy and I wear pink!
Love your pink photos, especially the shoes. :)
No conocía los días genial entrada. Te mando un beso
Nice photos of you. I am just not a pink girl. LOL
Happy belated pink day! Cute pink photos.
I didn't know there was such a day.
I did not know that!
I don't have any pink clothing. I have lots of red, though. Perhaps I should hang some out in the sun to help fade them to a pink! :)
No, I did not. Pink is my favorite color, too. I love pink.
Love your pink shoes. I am wearing a deep pink top today - a bit late, but never mind.
I back then painted my bike pink. Baaad mistake. You are not allowed to drive to the bike-park (logic??) and the teacher always got me cause my bike shone so bright.
I didn't now there was such a day but would have worn a pink tee shirt! Of course it's the colour of breast cancer awareness ribbon/advertising so could have been put to good use to raise awareness. I did eat strawberries so something pink happened.
There seems to be a day for just about everything. I'd have had a glass of rose had I known about National Pink Day. Any excuse!
I have sneakers in all colours, including lovely pink. Great photos of you! Have a great day, Valerie
Ahhh ... pink ... I've found my way back to the color. Actually it is the color of the little girls and later excellent again for us "older" women ... Joy of life and joie de vivre with PINK :-)))
At the moment I drink rosé wine on warm summer evenings ... a little - a little! -
every evening ... wonderful.
Greetings to you... Viola... and have a happy day.
There seems to be a day for everything, I had never heard of pink day that's for sure but I was wearing a pink top all day so I was celebrating without even realising it. Have a great weekend.
I missed pink day too, but I do not have anything pink to wear.
Take care, enjoy your day! Have a happy weekend!
Didn't know there was a pink day - hope you had a good one.
I love the color pink. Happy Friday.
I love your pink coat! I didn't know about National Rose day, either. But that was the day of our Cork Poppers and someone brought rose, so we celebrated, even though we didn't know we were!
I don't have pink clothes but I also like it when I see it with you! I also like the pink color in my pictures.
* wow * the salmon recipe is great!
Thanks for the information
Have a beautiful day, Elke
Pink shoes- how fun! Now you know when to celebrate in the future. :)

No I had not heard of these days, pretty soon every day will have some special event for it :)
It seems I remember you mentioning Pink Day in the past, but, otherwise, I am not familiar with either of these. You find the most unusual holidays, Jan.
What fun pink goodies! I only know about national pink day thru social media. There seems to be a day for everything which cracks me up!
I also missed it but basically cause I never knew there was a National Pink Day....haha.
Happy Pink Day! I didn't know either. Love the pink trainers. :-D
I missed pink day too. Not my favorite color but like sure do like it. Enjoyed your pink photos.
Lovely photos
I missed pink day. I won't miss it next year.
Ooops I missed it, my wall building brickie kit doesn't include any pink anyway lol. Take care xx
No I didn't know about either of those. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I am a big fan of pink too. :-)
Love your charming pink! Hugs!
I like your pink coat and I love the pink shoes!
Oh, dear, I must pay more attention, too, as it just passed me by :)
Lovely images! I especially like your pink trainers! :)
No sabía nada del día del rosa, el rosa es bonito pero no es mi color favorito. Besos.
I love pink too! Great post! Big Hugs!
