Flamingoes

Look at these big birds in flaming color.

Resting at the waterside quietly.

So relax and carefree.

Elegant their postures are.

Like a group of ballet dancers.

Mayhap, I should invite them to dance with me.

Watched a TV documentary about wild flamingoes last night. They are so beautiful. When I was watching the show there was only one thing in my mind: "They really look like ballet dancers dressing in flaming dancing costumes!"

However the condition of their natural habitat is severely under threat. Air and water pollutions and global warming are putting their home in jeopardy. If we don't do something to stop the pollution and protect our environment, someday all these beautiful animals will disappear forever.
