Painted Desert Freebie - the Pinks

Next up - the Pinks.  There are pink flowers, pink rocks, pink pottery and pink in the sky at sunset - probably at dawn too, but I've never been up that early.  There were cactus flowers everywhere when we were in the Southwest this past May.  I'm so glad we made the trip during this time, it was the first we had seen flowers on the Saguaro.  I'm a tall person, but saguaro are way taller than me, so they were a bit difficult to photograph.

Again, thank you to all who took the time to reply.  Your comments are very much appreciated.  Now for the Pinks, and again, you will find them on MediaFire.

And here is a layout I did with mostly pinks and some elements from the earlier colors.  This was taken at the Visitor Center in Las Crucs, NM.  I used a technique on the photo called Part Photo Part Sketch.  It was written for Photoshop but I was able to use it in Elements with a plug-in for the curves.  If you click on any of the photos you will get a large view.

And I had to add these two photos of the Desert Willow.  The first is the tree and the second the flowers.  They were such pretty delicate little bells - and they were pink!
