Pretty flamingos.

Hi Mira Bilis, I remember the series and the tune came to mind instantly. I've just enjoyed singing along to it, courtesy of the youtube link. It really did take me back. Thanks for that.

Oh my MD ... you mentioned Camargue horses and it made me think of that old tv series "The White Horses" ... remember that?  I loved that show in my childhood ... found the theme on YouTube ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtCNbERKvMs  :-D

Hi Kyle.  It's taken me 5 months to come across these comments. I'll be glad when you're back.   :))

Once in a Zoo on Cheyenne Mountain, up at the Will Rogers shrine, or very near it, had some primates, Chimps, when i was there they had learned  a new trick, ""pooping in their little hands and throwing it accurately"", lucky for me a woman was ahead of me by only a couple steps, she got the slug that was thrown, i am a quick learner and backed away out of range hahaha felt bad for that young lady, nothing I could do, except stay clean hahahaha however the smell is with me in my mind all the time, as i can remember it clearly, and have no intent to get close to it if I can help it hahahahah

MD, there is much more to you than you pretend, , you at times act like a Country Girl, its  a saying for a home body, hahahahah you are NO homebody nor a strict Country Girl either. You are what was once called well Rounded kid hahahaha  Another saying is "Been to Town and back" meaning you are absolutly no hick either.  Dona is not eitherm she pretends to be a wall flower, but bet for a fact she is also "Well Rounded, girls, best to you both.

I'm old hat, meaning Ive been there and done it generally, what I havent was eithe illegal or too dangerous hahahaha, got nothing on you MD. You likely would have fit right in on a push  A hard compliment kid, most would run

OK, done with the compliments, this is a nice place to visit, but me, i can remember the smell hahahahahahaha and would rather see it than be there.

hi md

Hi Dona.  :>

hi md  thank you kyle for showing me this site    hi eveyone im    dona

Kyle, when I lived in France we were nearer to the Italian border.  We used to spend the winter months in Spain,  driving  through the Camargue to get there.  At first it was a novelty but eventually we ended up  using the autoroutes because it was quicker to travel.  That's probably why it's not fenced off,  not too many people use the old routes.

MD that would be worth the trip to travel to see it

Hi Kyle. In the south of France there is an area called the Camargue. It's fresh-water marsh land right next to the Mediterranean sea. It's famous for wild white horses and lovely pink flamingos.  Last time I was there the flamingos were strutting their stuff, no fences to keep them in.              The French also use the area to grow rice.

ah, blowers, that'll work

maybe they were only getting them to shake it off, or as i said, its a trick of light

I suspect they will keep the camera off them until the Keepers are done removing the birds to warmer chambers

Shame, its snow

I only hope someone local sees this issue,darn

Wow, must be the light, Flamingos cant tolorate snow temps, they would freeze to death, so must be the light levels that are causing it to look like snow on them

Let Icyflamingo get the credit, dont matter as long as folks post the special ones now and again hahahaha, not sure how I noticed them , might have been IF

Hi lizardmomma. Aren't they lovely? I thank icyflamingo for bringing them to my attention.
