when we were on our trip to Masirah Island in
Nov'08.
How pretty the flamingos are and the water is so beautiful. What magical pictures you shared today Shantana.
ReplyDeletewow...they are gorgeous! There was a flamingo in Biloxi after Hurricane Katrina. Not sure why he was there or how he got there. They were going to relocate him, but he disappeared

ReplyDeleteI love those flamingos. When we were at the zoo a few weeks ago we saw them. They're really pretty.
