So beautiful! I always love your flamingo photos (where do you take them??) I posted my first flamingo shot today in your honor. Granted mine is kind of pathetic but funny.
Great capture! He/She actually makes me think of the baby blanket I just started for my expected great grand-daughter - white with pink flecks. Maybe I should get her a flamingo to go with it!
Another fine flamingo foto. Love how the frame is nearly filled with flamingo-pink.
Yes, macro March in alphabetical order. For "X" I've done X-acto knife, xylophone, and x-ray in the past, but THIS year, I'm not certain just what unique thing I'll find.
@redy4et I love your flamingo shot! I actually have some of those in my back yard...and my gardener hates them! As for where I get the shots, generally the SD Zoo and Wild Animal Park. If you're still in the Palm Springs area, stop by at the J W Marriott. Several flamingos are hanging around there - and even a couple of black swans!
@yorkshirekiwi This particular line of flamingos, the Lesser Flamingo, often has a distinctive reddish eye. It results from the same kind of food that gives them their pink coloring. I'm guessing that the zoo pumps up their beta carotene content.
@shannejw Thanks Shanne. As I mentioned to Carole above, I suspect that the zoo adds a little extra beta carotene to their diet to bring that pink out.
@pcoulson Thanks Peter.....flamingo whisperer? More like agitator. They seem to squawk like hell and get all bent out of shape when I show up with my camera. Maybe it's the alligator on my shirt?
@stownsend I saw some darling Beany Baby flamingoes recently! 😊 @stray_shooter This fellow is so cool. Beta Carotene in the diet, eh?! I think I’ll buy some for my hydrangeas, it should pink them right up!
