When you only have ever seen flamingos in zoos...
it's pretty darned awesome to see one flying in it's natural habitat!!!
Who knew???
Did you know that flamingos fly???
I have to admit...I never really thought about it...
until we were in the Galapagos Islands a couple of years ago...
and this beautiful guy or gal took flight!
Just a little diversion from the norm...
thought I'd head back to the ol' archives and reminisce a bit...
