Greater flamingos
Well Friday the 13th has been lucky for me so far. Just on the spare of the moment I went to a spot where I know flamingos hang out I got quite a lot of pictures, I hope you like this one. I'm really in the pink now.

No problem.............I use a Konica/Minolta Dynax 7D with Minolta 100-300mm APO zoom and a Cambron Pro 2x adapter. With the adapter on I can't use the auto focus function so this shot was hand focused and hand held.

BTW welcome to TRF.

AS the Dutch don't have any taste, does it matter.

And just what's wrong with a pastel, linen Armani suit with a T-shirt and 'girlie' shoes, anyways? Since fashion is cyclical... I'll be ahead of the curve at some point.

Riding a bike is the only thing cyclical about you.
