Top 50 - Boston.com - October photo contest theme: Pink



** My photo made into the Top 50 in the October photo contest: http://www.boston.com/community/photos/raw/2009/11/october_pink_contest_final_50.html **

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Boston.com is holding a photo contest with the theme: Pink. I am really excited about that Boston.com chose this appropriate theme and dedicate for breast cancer awareness.

If you have a photo that fits this theme, you should also submit to the contest!!! Check out this link for what people have submitted already.

BTW - 2009 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Boston, MA is on this Sunday, October 4, 2009.

I selected this photo of a pink rose from the Hillwood Estate, Museum and Garden in DC. The Hillwood is a hidden jewel in DC and probably one of my favorite museum in DC. It is a bit off-beaten-path, locates around the Van Ness area in DC.

I think of the Hillwood in two parts, the mansion/museum that was once owned by Marjorie Merriweather Post which contains her personal extensive Russian art collection and other. The second part is the outdoor area that consists an amazing Japanese garden, rose garden and indoor green house.

You should definitely check it out if you had enough of the Smithsonian.
