This week at Rainbow Connections, we've seen Coral Bells, and Coral Belles,
Rocky dells...
and things that made our hearts swell.
We've found coral to be sweet...
Sassy, and neat...
We admired coral for its complexity.
We've found it striking in its simplicity...
Coral tickled our fancy...
Whether plain or fancy-schmancy.
Coral made us feel bright and cheery...
Satisfied, and not the least bit leary.
And now, lest we forget, a Coral Brief to appraise you of this week's winners...
Please join me in congratulate the Winners of Rainbow Connection's Coral Competition!
====> (Although there were fewer entries this week, the quality of the photos submitted was so excellent that it was extremely hard to rank the winners... there are many "First Prize" level photos in the list below... please have a look at them all!)
My thanks to everyone who entered!

Congratulations to the winners and thanks for all of your effort, Sherrie. :)
TD, the stunning vista is in Scotland, heading up into the highlands. You would love it. No idea what kind of flowers they are.
The little girl is my niece. She is the daughter of a brother who is 16 years younger than I. I don't have kids, so I treat her, and her little sister and brother, like my grandkids. They're sweet.

Congratulations everyone!
Thank you so much, Sherrie, for making this all possible!
Strangely enough, some of the pictures here are not showing up for me.
