I was very young, but Paul Lynde was great.
I didn't want to hijack your post so...

Paul Lynde was one of my favorite comedians.
I admired his delivery, but mostly I admired his voice and the attitude and inflection he would instill in his responses.
Paul Lynde Q&A from Hollywood Squares.
Q. What is a good reason for pounding meat?
A. Paul Lynde: Loneliness! (The audience laughed so long and so hard it took up almost 15 minutes of the show!)
Q. Do female frogs croak?
A. Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough.
Q. Why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
A. Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.
Q. It is considered in bad taste to discuss two subjects at nudist camps. One is politics, what is the other?
A. Paul Lynde: Tape measures.
Q. When you pat a dog on its head he will wag his tail. What will a goose do?
A. Paul Lynde: Make him bark?
Q. If you were pregnant for two years, what would you give birth to?
A. Paul Lynde: Whatever it is, it would never be afraid of the dark.
Q. It is the most abused and neglected part of your body, what is it?
A. Paul Lynde: Mine may be abused, but it certainly isn't neglected.
Q. Who stays pregnant for a longer period of time, your wife or your elephant?
A. Paul Lynde: Who told you about my elephant?
Q. According to Ann Landers, what are two things you should never do in bed?
A. Paul Lynde: Point and laugh.

Lookin' good. Keep at it. We all make mistakes when we shoot, and we all discard lots of shots that are no good.
Thanks for the encouragement Jerry!

I like your images. EVERYBODY takes more bad pics than good pics. Photographers tend to be perfectionist. The ability to see what a good image is, is most important. The technical stuff comes with practice. The good thing is that the frog and not the reed is in focus. The composition of the image is fine. You may want to crop the image slightly to put more emphasis on the frog. Nice work.
I thought about cropping the frog. I was concerned about losing too much of the habitat so I thought I would post the original for suggestions first.
Thanks for the feedback.

Calibrate your monitor with a hardware/software kit (DataColor Spyder5Pro or X-RITE i1 Display).
Good suggestion. Thank you for the reminder!

Here are the first images from my walk on Saturday 9/23. I took way more bad photographs than good ones.
I am set up for back button focus, but I forgot to focus and recompose on the subject properly. I cropped Feed the Duck and adjusted white balance on both. I then converted them to Exif-JPG. Otherwise they are untouched. I tried to show the frog hiding in his natural habitat. I know it shouldn't have a reed through his body, but I haven't figured out how to get frogs to pose properly quite yet!
Kind suggestions would be appreciated!

Thank you to all for all of your suggestions!
I installed the newest version of Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 and the pink haze does not appear on the images now.

Sounds like a white balance issue, good that you shot in raw, this is easily corrected in post processing. Check to see if you inadvertently changed the settings on the camera to something that didn't fit the conditions. You can always set your white balance to auto let the camera determine the setting based on the metered scene, again if it's off, easily fixed in PP. Good luck and happy shooting.
Will check this when I get home tonight too.

You might try using Canon's software - Digital Photo Profesional - and see if you gey the same results. It gives you control over raw images well, and defaults to the camera settings for raw files.
It may help diagnose where the problem lies.
If you upload an image ( from the camera, unmodified ) and use store original we may be able to help a bit.

Going to try DPP tonight after work. Will also try shooting JPEGs to see if it persists. If I cannot resolve I will upload an image.

Try a different SD card and then try shooting JPEG. Make just one change at a time.

Not quite that bright pink, but fairly close.

I finally purchased a Canon T6s with 18-135mm lens kit. This weekend my wife and I went on a walk with friends and I was able to bring the camera along. I was fortunate enough to take pictures of a number of subjects including wildlife, sports action, candid portraiture and a bit of landscape. I decided to shoot only in RAW to ensure the ability to post process and to preserve storage for more files.
Since I am just re-entering photography after a long hiatus, I had to download and install PP software (GIMP and UFRaw). When I opened the CR2 files I noticed that every one of them had a pink haze over the whole image. I know this was addressed in a previous post, but I cannot seem to find that topic. I searched using "pink" and "haze", as well as a few other search words. Do any of you happen to remember which user posted that question or what the title of that topic was?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated and allow me to thank you ahead of time for your efforts.

Had I set my camera up correctly ( I have since set it to Auto ISO with a max ISO of 800) and / or chimped a bit
Please excuse my ignorance as I am quite new to digital photography, but could some of you please explain what it means to "chimp"? I am not familiar with this term. A Google search lead me to the understanding that this refers to checking each image in the electronic viewfinder so that one may adjust their settings in an effort to obtain a more accurately exposed shot. Is there more to it than that?
Thank you ahead of time for all of your learned responses.

Jerry,
I witnessed this during our 2014 family trip to Washigton D.C. and it is phenomenal. Just to stand there and watch it was a privilege. We truly live in the home of the brave.
I offer heartfelt thanks to my stepfather, who fought at Okinawa in WWII, my uncle Jack, who served at Song Ong Doc along with numerous other posts in Vietnam, and to all of the others who pledged and gave life to our country and others in hopes of making this a better world for all of us to live in.
Will
