We were driving down the highway when we saw this lawn filled with flamingos. Notice the pink and white HONK sign.
Isn't it interesting how we Americans are finding curious distractions, like this yard full of flamingos, to keep us sane in our insane society? We may not realize it, but these bits of humor keep all of us grounded when it feels like the planet is one big balloon ready to burst. Anyway, that's how I look at it.
Actually feel kinda sorry for this awkward looking bird. I try to imagine what it feels like to have knees that bend the opposite of ours. The big beak, S-shaped neck and long spindly legs look like a bunch of reject parts that were thrown together. And, then there's the peculiar way they fold themselves up and tuck their beaks into their back feathers to sleep.
All of Nature is inter-connected and dependent. If we look closely at the way flamingos live, we can learn how to.........
Wade into life.
Stand out in a crowd.
Spend time with the flock.
Find the right balance.
Be flexible.
Keep our beaks clean.
Not be afraid to get our feet wet.
And be flamboyant.
