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.

These photos were taken in April 2013. Hopefully, a preview of coming attractions!
Another classic NYC event, later on in June, at which pink is surely the ruling color is here.
