pink, trained, gentleness

Under the horse chestnuts, the largely white, individual petals from the "candles" are stained with the sort of pink, you associate with sweeties and party frocks.

At the edge of the curb, an over zealous spaniel, its front paws stretched out, lies, rather than sits down, at its owner's word, before crossing the road.

A gentle rain today, so gentle you don't get wet, a sweet rain.
