I really love Flamingos but every time I have seen them at the Bronx Zoo, I've not been able to get any really good photos.....not yet anyway but I'll keep trying.
Flamingos remind me of my favorite season....summer. When we were in Bermuda, we went to a zoo/aquarium that was jam packed with lots to see.
First we took a ferry from where our boat was docked to the city of Hamilton, from there we road by bus to the zoo. While small, the zoo and aquarium were beautiful and of course, they had lovely views of the ocean as well but I don't mean to get off subject.....I was excited to see such a large number of Flamingos in one place and Chris and I had the perfect spot to sit and watch them and of course, take lots of photos.
I moved out of the prime viewing spot only once to let other people have a look and then I was right back in my photo shooting position once they had left. I was able to take quite a lot of pictures but it was a bit challenging at times due to the constant movement of the group.
I tried to watch and get a lot of different shots as heads went up, down, in the water etc.... It was a lovely afternoon, hotter then blazes but lovely and it was wonderful to find so many of these beautiful birds in one spot.
Below is a pretty Flamingo plaque that my artist friend Jo hand painted and was kind enough to share with me so I could include it in my post. She is just getting a new website up and running and putting quite a lot of work into it and her artwork as well, so I hope you will visit her over at:

I hope you've enjoyed some of the photos of these beautiful birds.
