In a 25-year career as a wildlife photographer, Kevin Schafer has had some pretty wild experiences. Yet, few can top the importance of being the first photographer to successfully take a picture of the rare Amazon river dolphins, which are unusual not only because they live in freshwater, but because the males of the species have a bubblegum pink color.
And I thought this was funny:
But river dolphins are kind of like Lindsay Lohan on a film set: You can tell them it's time for their close-up, but that doesn't mean they'll show up for it.
Though I'm sure some homophobic trads will spend a lot of energy very emphatically insisting that the dolphin males are not pink but actually "old rose"...

ha! happens twice a year on the traddy/liturgical blogs.
LOL! Yes, it certainly does. That's why on Laetare this year (which also happened to be my 36th birthday), I did an entire spoof of it from the pulpit, explaining to people that Easter would be here in a few weeks, and so "I'm getting out my Easter Bunny pink to celebrate!"
Truth be told, I've always found it odd how so many people jump on the whole "It's rose!" bandwagon, especially in light of the fact that the average straight guy can't tell subtle shades of one color from another anyway.

LOL !
Its pretty funny though. Why not just agree to disagree and call it Rose PINK ! Seriously I remember happening upon a blog where they were arguing as to whether or not it appeared to salmony/coral in appearance (at least that is what I recall of that particular blog).
This is the chasuble in question: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3583/3389035957_aff84f7c32.jpg
