Camera Critters - Flamingos


As I mentioned last week, we went to the "Stone Zoo," on April 30th. I took enough pictures to last me awhile - lol! Here are some cool shots (I think anyway) of the flamingos.


This one was bending straight down, trying to get something to eat I guess.

    I love flamingos! Are the flamingos made of stone? Or is that just the name of the zoo? If they are, that is amazing!

    I'm following you from the MBC Under 100 Club. I look forward to reading more!

    Flamingos are so much fun to watch. When they are *talking*, they remind of us faculty meetings! :D

    Thanks everyone for your comments. No these are real flamingos - the name of the zoo is just called the "Stone Zoo."

    Really vivid pinks and peaches--such pretty feathers. I think the way they put their heads in the water to eat is so much fun to watch.

    I've never seen orange flamingos before, so these pictures are a real treat. Do you know if they have a specific name for their bree?

    Hi Sue,
    I like the pretty colors of the flamingos too. My son is going on a field trip from school to the zoo Tuesday. He is looking forward to that. Thanks for sharing your zoo pictures with us. :-)

    Terrific photos.

    And it must feel great to have an archive of photos to now use for cc... I've been meaning to visit the local reptile park here so that I'm more prepared for those busy weeks we can all have ;)
