Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Pink.
There’s one week in the year, coming up soon, when NYC’s parks are awash in pink. And looking further ahead, here’s another classic NYC event in which pink is surely the ruling color—
It’s the Coney Island Mermaid Parade! The story and photos from last year are here.
You can bet we’ll do our best to be there again this year! This year on Saturday, June 21st, at 1 PM.

Let’s drink a drink, a drink to Lily the Pink, the pink, the pink, the saviour of the human race. She invented medicinal compound, most efficacious in every case.
And to you fellows out there, aren’t seeing these shots the best of medicinal compounds for your eyes?
