Prissy in Pastels

Love her obsession with the fluff here. What a prissy preener!! Our flamingos are a bit on the albino side here. I wonder if they don't get enough shrimp? Or are they just a different variety?

Happily, everyone's going back to school today. And I hope to make it to the gym for a much needed workout. Today will be a good day! Wishing the same for you!
Lovely shot, great colors.

A lovely capture. Funny but I was thinking the same thing when I saw some at our local zoo. Iam guessing it's the diet too.

Very pretty! hope you had a great day and good workout at the gym.

Beautiful capture of her contortionist skills. I love how she's making the symbol for infinity. I think she just needs some carrot juice.

Great neck angle

@sugarmuser Wish my neck were so bendy. They are fun! Thanks!
November 14th, 2013  
Lovely shot - the colours are beautiful, and I like that she has a mouthful of feather.

I love flamingos. I think they are a very elegant bird and I actually prefer them with a lighter pink plumage. We used to go to a place called Flamingo Land when I was little and living in Yorkshire. It is a theme park and I think it has improved a lot since I used to go. I hope it has anyway.
November 14th, 2013  
what a wonderful shot... I tried to get a good one this past Saturday at the zoo but failed.... I'll try again
November 14th, 2013  
@thirtysevenways Flamingo Land...that is funny. I lived by Disney World:). Thanks!
November 14th, 2013  
Beautifully captured. Perhaps the intensity of the colour changes with the season.
November 14th, 2013  
Oh so lovely!!! What a beautiful pink color!!! Great capture and a FAV
November 14th, 2013  
Love the shape and the color!

Lovely shot, her body looks like candy floss ( can't think what you call it here in the US !) lol.
November 15th, 2013  
My neck hurts just watching her twist around like that, but it is a very interesting image.
November 15th, 2013  
nice

Meg
amazing shot...fav! I must admit that flamingos and giraffes are my faves!
November 15th, 2013  
I'm with @rvwalker, my neck is hurting too! Nice color
November 15th, 2013  
beautiful
November 15th, 2013  
@megmills Aw, thanks for the fav, my friend. I love them, too!!

@eyesmile Thanks, kind lady. Really appreciate the sweet fav. I'm not leaving or bailing or quitting...just will be taking time off as needed between internet connections, while we are gone on vacation and if things are just too busy. Hope to keep up as best as I can, but I will have less time unfortunately.

Thanks for appreciating this shot and title. There is just something about these beautiful and bendy birds that does it for me. Oh to have such a contortionist neck;-). Happy weekend!

Gorgeous shot
November 16th, 2013  
hard to believe that beak is real - god of nature is the ultimate designer (must be a female!)
November 17th, 2013  
fav ... if your recent images are anything to go by .. it seems like you have completely rediscovered your mojo .. happy for ya :-)
November 17th, 2013  
@friend2303 Aw, thanks so much, sir. I really used tons of fillers this past week. Life is getting crazier for me. We move in 3 weeks, travel for the holidays, etc. But I will shoot and post as often as I can. I may take some time off as needed but still hope to finish my year up on Dec. 31. Thanks for your kind comments and fav. Welcome back!
November 18th, 2013  
@amandal ahh I see ... but I was not just referring to the last week ... last few weeks actually :-)
November 18th, 2013  
@friend2303 Well thank you very much. I go in spurts. I find that I have really good days where I will get several good/great images and then go days without taking photos. That works for me. It's been so long since I've taken photos. I feel the itch to shoot again tomorrow. That's the beauty of year 2 for me...more freedom.
November 18th, 2013  
very cool! nice shot
November 19th, 2013  
eheh good one
November 20th, 2013  
@wenbow @helixconcepts @colie @gozoinklings

Thanks so much, friends. And thanks Laura for getting my title. No one seemed too, and I loved it:)!
November 20th, 2013  
Love that curvy line her neck makes!
November 21st, 2013  
@jyokota I do, too. Wish my neck were so bendy (although it might look strange:)!
