Good Morning and Happy Pink Saturday!
I went out before sunrise yesterday and found mist in a low lying field of soybeans. It looked like there was almost a slight frosting on some of the plants-absolutely crazy for July in Kansas.
On Thursday I went early up to KU-Kansas University to shoot some pictures. Below is the classic KU skyline. The building with the flags is Frasier Hall and the tower in the middle is the WWII Memorial Campanile Bell Tower. I live just a few blocks from KU and yes indeed we have hills in Kansas(eastern Kansas anyway).
I am not sure what this flower is but I sure fell in love with it. It was out by Clinton Lake-our local recreational lake. Our city is almost up against it now-it was way out when they built it in the late 1980s.
This last one is a Pink Hydranga I found at one of our local Parks-South Park-It is directly south of the downtown area. When I was kid I used to play there everyday as my school was right next to it. Back then there was an old fire engine we could play on. It actually has two sides to it. The playground side west of Mass St., and the Band Stand side west of Mass St.. I spent many a Wednesday night in the summertime listening to band concerts with my mom and my grandmother. I'll share some pics with you next time of the park. It's a lovely place but not a lot of pink.
Take care, and don't forget to go check out Beverly's Pink Saturday Participants at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com

Happy Pink Saturday! What was the old saying "Red Skies at night, Sailor's Delight. Red skies in morning, Sailor's heed warning." I don't know how true it is, but your skies sure look pretty! ~ Robyn
Hi Susan! Another great Pink Saturday post. Love that bright pink flower, it almost looks fake it is so perfect looking. The two colors together are just exquisite. I so love that one. The skys are just beautiful as always and hydrangeas make me think of Moma, as she always has them in her yard too, and they do so well. Some things just do not grow out here in Phoenix. Please stop by and say hi. I would love to have you visit. Country Hugs, Sherry

Hi, Susan,
Beautiful sunrise there over Kansas! Loved seeing the skyline, too. That looks like a hard hibiscus to me. Hydrangeas are so lovely. Happy Pink Saturday! Vicki
I meant to say "hardy" hibiscus!
The unnamed flower is a beauty. And the pink sky is very nice to see. Good thing you woke early for this :-)
Happy Pink Weekend!
