Reflections of Another World...


Another treat from the Galapagos Islands...



Have I ever mentioned I have a collection of vintage porcelain flamingoes???

One of the highlights of the trip for me was seeing flamingoes in the wild...
There were only four in this spot...but what a treat!!!

They are amazing!!!  Their knees bend backwards and forwards...
They actually fly...(I have proof!)
And yes, in their own way, they are graceful and beautiful...

    I believe there's a scene in the movie "Out of Africa" where they film the flamingos in flight from the perspective of above
