Fall - Pink Saturday


Fall is my favorite time of year,
but by living in the South
we don't have the "blessings"
of seeing the trees turn their
amazing colors.

WE DO, however,
continue to have AWESOME
Spring like weather, (but some days
there is still too much humidity),
so I will be sharing some
of the South's Fall colors.

Some beautiful little roses are still in bloom.

A leaf now and then, falls.

Acorns have fallen and are ready for the squirrels.
I found these on the ground all grouped together.



The lantana (did I spell that right) is bloom beautifully.


Even honey bees are enjoying this weather!


And who wouldn't appreciate this beautiful color!!


I also enjoyed seeing the butterflies having a pleasent time.


Here's a tidbit for you:

Traditionally in most (all?) cultures
men prefer blue and women, red shades.
Interesting enough,  these preferences are not taught,
but built in. (various studies prove that.)

In the ancient knowledge of Yoga,
the right energy channel of a human body  
is said to be yellow(can get red).
It contains heat and generally stands
for the Sun and masculine principle.

The left energy channel is of a blue colour
and stands for the Moon and the female principle.
By the way, the same works for
Yin and Yan in the Chinese philosophy.
Thus, men prefer blue because it balances their yellow/red energy,
 and women prefer red (pink, orange, etc.) because it balances their blue!


 
I love this time of year. It's a time when we Southern's
get a break from the humidity....most days.

I'm joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday.
Why don't you join in?

Here's to your health!

  5. That is very interesting!! And it reminded me that when my brother and I were very little his favorite color was blue, and mine was red. Now I don't favor the bright colors very much, but tend more to the lighter hues. And I'm particularly fond of the sky blue color and love looking at the sky with the clouds.

    I hope your Pink Saturday was grand!
