"Why are flamingos pink?
Feather color varies with species, ranging from pale pink to crimson or vermilion. Caribbean flamingos have the brightest coloration: crimson or vermilion. The Chilean flamingo is pale pink.
A flamingo's pink or reddish feather color comes from its diet, which is high in alpha and beta-carotene. People eat beta-carotene when they eat carrots."
I love when we all come together to post on a specific topic such as Pink Saturday, so I'm trying to get bloggers together to post their favorite family photo on Fridays. Won't you join me? You could post a current picture or something from the past. I just posted my first Friday's Favorite Family Foto yesterday. Check it out below. It's so cute!
Email me before each Friday to let me know if you would like to participate. I will post your link and invite others to visit your post.
Please join me! It will be fun!

Hi Deborah, thank you so much for stopping by, I love your pink flamingos. They bring back memories for me, when my Father retired from the Air Force and they bought their first home my Mother just had to have a pair of them in the front yard. Everytime I see one I think of her, thank you for the memory. Your Family Photo post sounds like fun and I will join you at a later time. I have alot going on right now so I can't do it just yet. The post would not take too long but if I join a team I like to go to every blog and post a comment, that does take time. I will join you later!
Blessings, Shirl
Thanks for sharing your pic. I am always amazed how those tiny legs hold those birds up.
I will try to remember ~ Family Photo Friday ~
I have been to the Abilene Zoo one billion times... The really small TX one w/ the cool giraffe exhibit. Same one?? And the flamingos make me smile.
Hello!! You're right about the sunscreen I totaly forgot to mention that and it's so important nowadays... I'll definitey be here for next FFFF!!! Hugs, Vanessa
