This guy obviously agrees!
The Flaming Goes are pairing up.
Getting ready for Valentines Day!
Some are already dating…..
While others think it wiser,
to go out in a group.
But all Goes dine.
No matter how hard it is to swallow!
The Flaming Goes send you cheers & wish you a Happy Valentines Day~

Amazing shots, Cindy. They really made me smile. 🙂
Awwww, then mission accomplished!
You got me on this one…. I was Googling “Flaming Goes” as I had never heard of that type of bird before…. then the penny dropped… duh!!! Now I won’t be able to look at a flamingo again without thinking of your beautiful Flaming Goes photos!!!!
Ahhhh, this makes me smile too! So very nice of you~
That first shot, with the weird tilt angle…is perfect! What a picture. Does anyone know why they are so red? Is it their diet, maybe? Or is that their natural color?
In any event…stunning photos. As usual! 🙂
You are most kiind and yes, it is their diet. They are born gray. If they eat algae. insect larvae and crustaceans that contain pigments called carotenoids, then their color becomes more intense.
So it’s as true for flamingos as it is for humans, “You are what you eat!” 🙂
Sadly, yes, A fact I am confronted with every time I stand on the scale. :'( 😉
great photos, I particularly love the first one!
He’s got a lot on his mind doesn’t he! So glad you enjoyed~
Always one of my favorite birds, I loved looking at your photos of these beautiful flamingos!
Really happy you did & cheers to you~
It really is hard to swallow… My Goodness. I have never seen flamingo photos this beautiful!

How are you getting these incredible shots… Fantastic!
I would suspect the same way you cook your amazing food that is art, have your chez….., live in Germany and Orcas land, have your store, your daughter, your goats, your dogs. It’s always so good to hear from you! Like a breeze of goodness~
I absolutely love the first photo and what a curious sweet face. Beautiful birds and great shots. TY for sharing this.
Thank you more for the kind appreciation & cheers to you!
They are very beautiful – such gorgeous colours!
The Lesser Flamingos are paler, more subtle, hence harder to photograph, but so very lovely. Very glad you liked them~

Photos that are creating many smiles 🙂
Makes it so rewarding! <3
Love that opening shot ~ it is like he is asking “whacha doin’?!?” ~ great tilt of the head and perfect introduction to this series.
I think birds think we are the one’s with the ‘bird brains'” and who can blame em!
Ha, ha…so true!
Absolutely stunning.
Most thoughtful of you and very appreciated too~
incredible photos
People like you are the reason I blog! Thank you~
Your blog is incredible Cindy…. Always a joy 🙂 thank you!
This is such a wonderful, breathtaking set of shots, Cindy. Simply gorgeous, every one. 🙂
Awwww, so motivating and most encouraging! Thank you my friend~

Stunning captures, Cindy. I love watching flamingoes. And a most appropriate Valentine’s symbol. Happy Valentine’s Day to you too! 😀
Visa Versa 2 U x 2! <3
Wow… the Flamingos’ head feathers are like plushy fleece. Thank you for that big close-up shot!
Very glad you enjoyed it!
Man, these are so gorgeous! I love the pinks! 😀
I love them too, and your last photo. That was serious art.
Gorgeous.
They are, all creatures, great and small~
Excelente imagini! Superbe! Thanks for visiting!
Thank you more for such kind words!
Dear Cindy, thank you very much for liking regularly some of my postings. This is encouraging and at times when I got a lot of negative letters, accusing me of being from a sect and a God hater, this ‘liking’ may help me to continue saying what is on my mind and continue to spread the news of the coming Kingdom of God, also warning people we do have to take much more care of the earth, our environment, and proclaim peace for those around us.
Sometimes matters are also hard to swallow for us and than there may be people (like you) who may make the pill less bitter. Thank you for your nice pictures and for the ‘like’s you placed already on several of my postings.
You can manage to place so many pictures because you have a paid account, I notice. I, not having much money, tried to place also some more pictures on my sites, but saw the space limiting soon. Though I would have love to share more pictures form Europe I shall have to be more careful publishing some. Sorry for not being able to share more of the beauty of the continent where I live.
I would love to see more photos of where you live, even if you post one or two at a time, it would still be most interesting. I am glad you are being true to yourself and to your beliefs which is always admirable. Thank you for your thoughtful commentary & cheers to you my friend~
🙂 Beautiful shots, cindy! …awesome guys 😉
They are quite pretty in pink aren’t they! 😉
Spectacular photos! I love them!
So glad I posted them & cheers to you my friend~
hahahaa awww this is so delightful and lovely pictures xD
They are birds that just invite absurd commentary! 😉
Oh wow, great group of photographs – the first just cracks me up!!
Happy Valentines Day Cindy!
I think he had me accurately pegged from the get go! 😉
They’re wonderful, beautiful pinks! They look like they’re on a dating site together! 🙂
Okay, I’m busted, it was a flamingo dating website called, flamingdates. com, how did you know???? 😉
Ha ha!! Nice one Cindy!! 😀
When it comes to making stuff up, I am way better than Brian Williams (you’d have to google him). He’s an American news anchor who just got busted for confabulating….. He should just start blogging…….Laughing….
Stunning gallery and gorgeous photographs dear Cindy!~ All the very best to you. Aquileana 😀
And 2 U my friend, loved your post about Athena~
They can be funny beyond compare and all the while I believe they know how majestic they look when they want.
I love their clabbery jabbering. They start clabbering rapidy as a group when you walk too close for their comfort!
The same as us when we invade each other’s space!!! However, we just give nasty looks at the other individual. I think we’d be nicer people if we clabbered.
Beautiful!
And – that first image kept me smiling the whole time. 😀
The Goes do this to me too! I don’t know what it is, but they are naturally comical, except when they fly when they are unbelieveably beautiful, or swim when they are swan like in gracefulness. Love them~
one word for this….INCREDIBLE!
One word for your comment, KIND! Thank you & cheers too~
Very Vibrant and beautiful.. looks like colors are spilling out of my screen!!! 🙂
Be Bettr, Stay Bettr!
Swetank.
Very pleased that you enjoyed & cheers to you~
Cheers Cindy, I enjoyed! Have a lovely evening.
Swetank.
Be Bettr, Stay Bettr!
You too my friend~

Wow, such vibrant pinks and reds! Where did you take these photos?
Thanks much. I took them at the lake at The San Diego Safari Park. The flamingos were free on the lake so it was very natural setting.
Wonderful.
