There you go again! Showing me something I never knew about! I must be very sheltered. LOL I didn't know they could bend their legs like this. That is so amazing! I love the color of the feathers. Such a splendid creature! Thank you, Anita. I find this shot awesome and inspiring.

I must admit I don't spend a lot of time around flamingos. In fact, it's been about never..well, maybe once. At any rate, I'm with Cindy. I didn't realize they could bend their "knees" like that, or perhaps this is just an abberation and he's double jointed?

What an amazing capture this is Anita, from what I gather, nobody knew they could kneel like this. Fabulous.

Hi Anita, this is a grand shot of a flamingo in an unusual pose. Mostly they are standing on one leg! This one probably needs an orthopaedist :)

me neither Anita! It always amazes me how their legs look like they are back to front and they come kitted out with knee guards! lol! it must be something to do with balance I expect! fantastic capture at close quarters - it looks like he is taking a snooze or saying a prayer! Patti

In the first moment I thought, this guy has very short legs. Smile. I have never seen this before. Do you think, this is relaxing? Great and funny shot.

This guy is very ill. Sadly when they do that iot meens they are lacking in something. It looks like a weekness in the joints. The capture is lovely though and on the whole I love Flamingos.

That is different. It might be a Muslim flamingo and is having it's prayer time. Great perspective.
