Flamingo Friday '19 03

It's Friday, and you know what that means! I thought I'd do something a little different for this week's posting. I've always had some fascination with the black feathers on the wing. They're usually hidden until the flamingo flaps its wings or does a mating dance or tries in total futility to fly.

Happy to see the Flamingo Friday is gaining some traction as I'm seeing others increasingly posting their FF shots. Big congrats to @taffy for landing her FF shot from last week as tops on this week's Top Twenty!
Superb image Ron

Oh crap. I forgot.

I'll get right on that.

By the way, that's a gorgeous wing!
January 18th, 2019  
Just beautiful!! I hadn't realised they had the black edging to the wings.

I too love flamingos, and isn't t his wing just beautiful! Nice!

Beautiful!! Of course this reminds me of the women's over-sized hats in the early 1900s that had full-sized birds wings on them sometimes! A flamingo wing...that might have been pushing it a bit!

@Weezilou I didn't realize you were that far along in age! You look so much younger!
January 18th, 2019  
@stray_shooter Never back peddle on your age...people will think you aren't aging well! Always say you're older than you are...for this very reason ; )

Very cool. Love your convo with @Weezilou, laughing out loud here.

Very nice shot with great contrast in the pink / black / and dark green background.

Aw...thanks for the shout-out! This is a great detail capture -- and the color of this bird seems so much more vivid than the ones I saw.

You're right that's something you don't usually see
January 19th, 2019

@imnorman @joysfocus @pamknowler @mwhipple @Weezilou @louannwarren @farmreporter @taffy @yorkshirekiwi @onewing @joannakate @dianen @lyndemc @gilbertwood The weekend has put me a little behind, necessitating a group reply. Thanks to all for the kind words about my flamingo wing. I'm thrilled to see increased interest in and participation in Flamingo Friday - many thanks to all who are getting into it!
