Is this flamingo coiled in watchful repose, or waiting to spring into movement? He seems less than restful but not particularly worried about my presence.

We’ve had some recent rains on Bonaire which should bring our local flamingos and egrets back to the salinas near town. Maybe some more chances for close-up photos of all the feathered ones although part of the road is closed off while construction is done on an intersection further on.

The graceful curves of flamingo heads and necks seem to entwine in the shape of a heart. The fantastic coral oranges and reds add to the implied heart concept. The mottled brown and blue background allows the flamingos to pop to the foreground.

First in a series of three flamingo inspired paintings. The canvas sides are painted a solid deep coral red.

Our Greater flamingos have been a daily sight these past 6 months or so here on tropical Bonaire. Yet our wet season has ended and the salinas near town have dried up. Our flamingos have flown to the ends of the island in search of wet feeding grounds during our dry season. A great blue heron and a handful of egrets are still trying to feed in the few remaining water holes.

The intense orange and yellow of the tiger lily comes to life. Some just one and sometimes a row of them line the backroads of New Hampshire. Lush and green foliage sets off the brilliant orange of the blossoms.
