Pink Ice & Pan

I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas!!! And I want to welcome you to PINK Saturday. Thank you Beverly for hosting us again today. Now I want to introduce you to a couple of new friends. Meet Pan (yes like Peter Pan)! Here he is in his hat made for him by his talented Momma Nan. Nan's talent doesn't stop there!!!! I am sharing some of her amazing photographs of the PINK skies of her home in Alaska. Enjoy these photos & then I encourage you to go to her blog Retired In Alaska & view some more amazing photos that I have not included(Please tell her I sent you). Be sure to see the one of Pan & the PINK ice!
Does this take your breath away?
And this?
Did I tell you this woman is amazing with the camera? When I saw her photos they simply spoke to my heart & soul.
I think Texas has some beautiful skies but these colors are amazing. What an artist GOD truly is!
THANK YOU NAN & PAN for giving me your blessings to share your wonderland with all of us here today! PLEASE go & visit Nan & tell her how much you enjoyed her photos it is SOOOOOOOOOOO worth the trip. Also, go visit the other girls playing Pink Saturday today.

    Hi, Charlene,
    I am so glad to meet you! Pan is as cute as can be in his Peter Pan hat!! I love it!! Those skies are so majestic there in Alaska. I have always wanted to visit there and see the Northern Lights. Thanks for sharing these spectacular photos! I am wishing for you and your family the happiest of New Years in 2010!! Vicki (also a Texas gal)

    Dear Charlene
    I did go and see Nan and Pan...lovely blog and I love her felts!
    I'm actually looking at some on Etsy. I also want to try my hand at knitting. I'm not crafty that way. Give me some spray paint and a brush and let me gooooooo.
    Anyway, thanks for the compliments on my pink finds. I paid a whopping 5.00 for the set. My BFF in Vancouver bought one in mint green. We're planning a getaway in March for my Birthday, going South (somehow I wish it was Texas!!). Fla. that is, where the sun will warm our bodies. We plan on bringing our finds. lol We will take lots of pictures.
    Happy New Year dear Charlene.
    Nice to have met you in 2009
    Love Claudie
