Flamingo Al Fresco


No, Flamingo al Fresco isn't some kind of dish.  The flamingos at Sea World were outside- they weren't even in a cage!  There was a shallow pool filled with flamingos, ibises, and many kinds of ducks.  It was really ovely.  The pink of the flamingos, the red of the ibises, the orange of the water, the green of the plants, and the reddish brown of the surrounding buildings all blended together to create a rather striking visual.  Most of the flamingos were gathered together at one end of their habitat, but this one was all off by itself.  This was just a little after noon, and the sun was extremely high in the sky, making it pretty hot.  But, that sun shone down almost directly on the top of this flamingo, making it basically glow.
