“See how the sacred old flamingoes come,
Painting with shadow all the marble steps:
Aged and wise, they seek their wonted perches
Within the temple, devious walking, made
To wander by their melancholy minds.”
~ William Butler Yeats
Have a fabulous weekend!

I’m beginning to like Yeats, Maverick. And your photos are just fantastic. We don’t have flamingos here but I used to see them when I lived in Florida. I was amazed by these pink birds. Thank you! Love, Amy
