Flamingo Friday '19 05

Happy to see other 365ers posting their own Flamingo Friday shots! Today's offering from me appears to have an itch on his back....which makes me wish I was a flamingo sometimes!

[Lou Ann]

Amazing hues of pink in the feathers! Ron, where do you shoot all your flamingos?

[Joanna kate]

Superb lighting on this beauty. A pink waterfall of feathers

[Kate Klinck]

What a beautiful catch!!

[Ian Norman]

Great shot Ron. When the weather gets better here, I’ll have to visit our local Zoo to get some Flamingo images. The Pidgeons on the Railway bridge might have to do for now.

[Peter]

Superb feather detail and wonderful soft tones beautifully captured here Ron:)

[Wendy]

The textures and bokeh make this shot so pretty and soft.
I am so jealous of you that you can find flamingos every week ... not me! So I enjoy them from afar in your pics.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Almost painterly, love this - great composition, too.

@shannejw @louannwarren @sunnygirl @taffy @dianen @lynnz @joannakate @kklinck @pcoulson @farmreporter @domenicododaro @bkbinthecity @joysfocus @mwhipple @summerfield @lyndemc Apologies for the group reply, but I'm a little out of sync. Many thanks for all of the nice comments on this year's fifth flamingo. @redy4et Elizabeth, I grab most of my flamingos at either the San Diego zoo or Safari Park, both of which have multiple flamingo areas. @imnorman Ian, I'm pretty sure there's a formal algorithm that automatically deletes any photos of pigeons. I'm trying to extend that to include squirrels. ;-)

[Louise & Ken]

Absolutely gorgeous! I took one on Friday, but we were in Big Bear and it wasn't at the zoo!

[Ron]

@Weezilou Flamingos at Big Bear? Can't wait to see!
