Lucky day for the fish.  Not so lucky for the boys.  Cap’n Terry caught the only fish.

Flamingos

I think Flamingos are really cool.  Especially because it is actually correct to spell the plural as Flamingos, Flamingoes, or Flamingo.  Really, I looked it up.

I love love love this print from Jan Beckman’s 20×200.

You can click here to check it out:  Flamingo No. 4 by Sharon Montrose. If I had a kid’s room to decorate, I would definitely buy this one.  She has several other prints that I love with monkeys and donkeys and all kinds of adorable animals.  Each and all would look sweet in a child’s room.

It sort of inspired the flamingo “art” I made for our powder room.

Here’s the photograph I started with:

And here’s a whole bunch of flamingos at the Homosassa Wildlife Park looking hoity-toity with their beaks up in the air.

One last picture of flamingos.  Saw these one afternoon across the canal.  Since I knew that flamingos do not naturally live this far north, I sent out the picture to several friends.  One correctly identified the species as “Plasticus Flamingus”.  Giggle.
