Have you ever seen flamingos at a zoo or someplace else? Well, let me tell you about the time I saw some flamingos on the internet. The flamingos I saw were very beautiful. Pink as a pink rose. In fact they were the beautifies flamingos I’ve ever seen. They inspired me that all nature is pretty it doesn’t have to be from the outside but from the inside. It also inspired me that nature might not seem nice but in the inside there is a big heart.

This picture is about a bunch of pink flamingos that are in a stream or body of water. I think this is neat because it is wildlife, but it’s like they are posing for the camera.

I love how flamingos are pink and how some give you a pleasant smile. flamingos
are graceful in so many ways its like they are not real! When ever you see a flamingo throw a little smile at you smile back.

Flamingos are interesting birds. When baby flamingos are born they are white as snow. Later on, when they start eating shrimp they turn pink. They all have really long necks. Their long neck helps them find their food. They love to be around lakes or near the sea. Sometimes flamingos rest by standing on one leg. These are just some facts about the beautiful flamingos.
