9th - Big Feet

San Diego Zoo, San Diego, California

Couldn't post last night but here's Monday's pic

We had a great couple of hours with Walter at San Diego Zoo yesterday morning; we came across the flamingo pond almost as we were leaving, and spent an hour or so just watching their antics and social niceties. If anyone believes in reincarnation, best not to come back as a new-born flamingo - this poor guy was being bullied and harassed all the time we were watching and only had a few minutes peace to himself

Gotta love his huge legs though - they were so big, he didn't really seem to know what to do with them when he was sitting down!


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Awww, poor thing. Those legs and feet are hilarious! I think he is looking at them and trying to figure out how they work!

Great capture. Harrassed? Hard to believe Mom wasn't around to protect him. This is truly the ugly duckling story, times ten. They do transform from one ugly baby to become beautiful though, don't they?

In his (and Walter's) stomping grounds :-)

Nice catch. He looks bewildered.
