Pink on the Move

Today I took some photos of dianthus, pinks, with the hopes of having one picture that I could turn into a canvas print or wood panel. When I tried to nip off a dead flower, I managed to nip off the one I wanted to photograph. Evidently this pink is one adventurous girl. We visited the Japanese Yew, front steps, and finally the Hens and Chicks. While she died young, she had a full little pink life.
