Pink is the color most associated with pure love and innocence. I thought it would be a welcome addition to my day, and hopefully yours, to enjoy these rosy hues.

| a waterlily, perfectly pink petals - do you see the dragonfly taking a rest? |

| no doubt this tractor used to be red, but it's faded through the years to a warm pink |

Much has been written about gender and color assignment - the standard is of course that pink is for girls, and blue is for boys. But, I recently learned that this is a relatively modern convention. Formerly, pink was the chosen color for boys as it was seen as a softer version of red - the strongest of the colors. And, blue was chosen for girls as blue is the color associated with the Virgin Mary. Apparently it was not until the 1940s that the pink/girl, blue/boy color assignments came about. Who knew?!
