Yesterday I took a trip to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, which has a lot of species of birds and animals that Toledo doesn't have. Here is the first one.

Thanks of the comments, friends.

Jimbob - Either the flamingo is camera shy or preening! In either case, you have composed a tremendous photo with excellent color, lighting and details - not an easy feat with birds of this feather. Thad

Scratch where it itches as they say. It looks like it could tie itself into a knot JimboB. How do you like retirement?
A good presentation.

He's obviously getting himself in shape for the camera. He really stands out well against the black background too.
