Flamingos?
Apparently.
Because here they are!
Hanging out with their very outgoing chicks.
There were Australian swans,
snoozing with Canadian Geese.
in ponds,
in Nevada and California.
Cheers to you from the happy birdies~

Have so many words, but nothing to say… Beautiful!
You just made me really smile Alexander დდ
Cindy, I am glad I made you smile🙂
Sometimes, when you emotionally overwhelmed, the thoughts are running in front of words. It is hard to express yourself in such condition.
Yes. Silence is a profound experience დდ
Excellent photos! I didn’t know the Flamingo chicks were grey. Very interesting
I didn’t know about the chicks either. But I do know flamingos turn pink over time from eating pigment contained in algae and bugs. These little guys won’t turn pink until they eat lots of both, which takes a few years. If you remove these pigments from a flamingos diet, they will start losing their color as they molt. Nature is very interesting. დ
You never fail to amaze me!
You make my <3 smile დდ
Amazing photos, Cindy.
Thank you very much Jeff დ
You’re most welcome, Cindy. Always. 🌼
These are so incredible birds and great images. The pink Flamingo is high on my list.

They are such incredibly beautiful creatures, especially when you see them taking off and airborne in huge flocks in the wild. Stunning. Thank you very much & stay safe and well დ
Thanks Cindy ..Hope we all stay safe . Anita

Ive only ever seen a flamingo in a zoo.
They are most amazing in the wild, especially when they take off in large flocks დ
There’s something about seeing animals, especially birds that make me scared somehow but also in awe. Such magnificent creatures. And that’s a stunning view you’ve got there.
Thank you very much and lovely of you to stop by დ
Great photos as usual, Cindy. Have you ever seen the marching flamingoes in Nassau (Bahamas)? They are hilarious.
No. I keep hearing about them. I would love to see them დ
Hi Cindy, thank you again for making our time happier with your beautiful photographs!
Your kindness makes me happy Charles. Thank you & be well დ
Reblogged this on charles french words reading and writing and commented:
Please enjoy these lovely photographs from Cindy Knoke!
Excellent photos. One can count the feathers…
Black swan, black swan? We are living a black swan moment…
All well Cindy?
Black swans are rare and beauteous. All is well, hope the same for you & thank you! დ
Working on it. Difficult to type with fingers crossed though.
😉
I always look forward to your photos.:) You must carry sunshine in your pocket everywhere you go! 🙂
Birds are weird! What was evolution thinking?! Haven’t a clue. Beautiful though.
Evolution was thinking, let’s make these amazing biological flying machines and cover them with colored feathers in every hue from nature’s spectrum დ
🤔
Your images of Nevada and California always make me happy – thank you so much for what you do to ease our minds and comfort our souls.
Awww…… Visa versa 2UX2 Sheila. Love to you & your family დ
I never thought of flamingos as very pretty–dramatic and eye-catching in shape and color–but not really pretty. But those flaming chicks are really cute! I love their curvy, fuzzy necks! Also those mirror images in the water. Thank you for your eye for beauty, Cindy!
Thank you more for your kind appreciation Kathy & blessings my friend დ
I’ve never seen a flamingo’s face this close up nor a chick! Very nice captures. To sit by that pond and read a good book would be the perfect afternoon for me…with coffee too.
Have a great weekend. 🙂
Yes. I spent several very peaceful days by these ponds. Amazing how relaxing it is. Thanks for stopping by & be well დ
Nice! I hope you get to spend more relaxing days in similar places. I would take a cold thermos of my iced coffee and just stay there for hours.
You stay well too.
They have porch swings, but I should call them pond swings! Heaven დ
That sounds lovely to swing over the pond. Now that’s relaxing!!
Very much so.
Your photos are always sensational. I’m thrilled.
Best regards from Alexander 🥸
So kind of you & so appreciated too! Thank you & take good care დ
I will never see these animals, but I have your photographs. They tell the truth in details.
Awww…… You make me very happy I posted them. Thank you & be well Micheline დ
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Cindy
Thank you more Micheline.
Beautiful
Thank you & cheers to you დ
