Flamingo

What can I say?...a somewhat more elegant offering than my previous Flamingo shot. These creatures elicit many varied reactions, from comical, to hilarious, to stunning beauty. In researching them, the data is confusing, with no one being able to nail down their beginnings, and confusion from which family of birds they hail. Some say they are related to grebes, some to ibis. They are endangered in certain parts of the world for unknown reasons. There is no reliable explanation for why they stand on one foot.

So, I offer you this moment in a Flamingo life.......beauty.
