Colour Your World: Violet Red
Drinks on sale in a market, Galle, Sri Lanka
Even in a very colourful street market in Galle, these vibrant drinks caught my eye. I have no idea if the colour is natural or artificial, but what fruit could make a drink such a virulent shade of pink?

Colour Your World: Violet Purple
Queen Mary 2, with a crescent moon and purple glowing thing on top
Queen Mary 2 stopped in Sydney for two nights in March. I was quite excited, because I’ve booked a short cruise on the ship for next year. Wildly extravagant, I know! 🙂 QM2’s sister ship, Queen Victoria, was here a few days before QM2, lit overall in a very eye-catching purple; at least QM2 confined the purple glow to the globular thing on top (various electronic instruments, I suspect).

A building in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico
Nuevo Progreso is a small town just across the Rio Grande River from Texas. It thrives on the proximity to hundreds of thousands of “snowbirds” — retired Canadians and Americans who migrate south for the winter. Living in towns such as Brownsville, McAllen and Harlingen (in my parents’ case!), these Winter Texans walk across the bridge into Progreso for prescription medicines, souvenirs, dental work — and eating, drinking and dancing!

This little train will take you around the Botanic Gardens, Sydney
The Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney cover 30 hectares (74 acres), which can mean a lot of walking! Luckily, there is this cute little train for people who prefer not to walk.

The wheels of this old locomotive in the Pine Creek train museum, Northern Territory (Australia) are painted a wonderful red-orange. (Colour your World Challenge: Red Orange)
Colour your World: Purple Heart
Queen Victoria dressed in regal purple for the evening.
This is the cruise ship Queen Victoria, bathed in rather startling purple light. We get a lot of different cruise ships in Sydney, but this purple look is not common.
Colour Your World: Pink Flamingo
Pink flamingo lurking among the hibiscus leaves.
When I saw that the ‘Color your World challenge’ had reached the crayon colour of Pink Flamingo, I could not resist posting this little guy even though this is a very literal take on the theme. He makes me smile whenever I see him in my plant pots.
