I think I may have had a pair of socks once with flamingos on them...

Like you said in your reply to Graham, it's often the blogger just as much as the reader who learns something from writing a post :-)<br /><br />Have you noticed that flamingoes are/have been all the rage in fashion this spring/summer? Whereever I looked, I saw flamingoes printed or embroidered onto dresses, scarves and blouses, purses and bags. Not my type of pattern, I must admit, and I do not own a single flamingo item :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-10966912691299652612016-08-21T18:13:11.776+02:002016-08-21T18:13:11.776+02:00Sandra, at first I wondered if the grey one was a ...Sandra, at first I wondered if the grey one was a different kind of bird.

The blessings of blogging often go both ways!

I know they like mud flats, so maybe they want their pretty pink to stay pretty. I have heard that the shade of pink depends on what they eat.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
