Greeting a New Week

by Kristi Hines on June 13, 2011 · Arizona, Phoenix


Last week was a bit of a whirlwind, but ended on the high notes of an awesome photowalk (pictures starting tomorrow) and a (hopefully) fully recovered kitty. So this week I am greeting with open wings in hopes that everything will stay on a positive note with no drama or cat-tastrophes! :)

Wonderful shot of the flamingo — it really accentuates its long neck!

Is there a more outrageous bird? You capture this rickety flamingo in a proud stance as if to say “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close up!”
