My favorite color finally got a name in 2019 when Pantone announced its "Color of the Year" as Living Coral. I always described it as sort of a not-quite-peach, coral-y pink color, but the press release brought it completely into focus. Over the years I've noticed whenever I wear coral, I get compliments. I'm drawn to flamingoes (a running joke with my mother for going on 30 years now - who can find the most obscure flamingo-themed item and gift it to the other) and course seeing the real thing (coral that is), alive in the sea is a sight to behold.  

Dallas is as far away from the ocean as I've ever lived so now I have to get my coral fix in other parts of nature, and as it turns out, in my Carrollton studio as well! Given that we're still under a shelter-in-place order for Dallas county, I had to get creative to photograph for this week's Pet Photographer 52 Week Challenge and it's theme "favorite color" with my best little model, Ginger.
