Walking for Photos or Man that Sun is Hot on My Head

The Weekly Photo Challenge –

Today! This week’s theme is a bit different (but you like that, don’t you?) – it’s about TODAY. This day. The day you’re reading and reacting to this post. No rules or guidance on what to post other than the photo must be taken today! Don’t cheat, don’t go into your photo archives on your computer, don’t link to an old post. Get your camera out, right now, and snap a picture to share with everyone!

I thought this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge was a little odd in the sense that I didn’t find it very inspiring. However, it did get me out walking! I walked at some places I’ve never been before and my face got sunburned and I had fun taking some pictures. One of the more unique sights I saw – in addition to people playing cricket (who knew they played cricket in Minneapolis?) – was this amazing flock of flamingos. This herd was spotted just across the street from Minneapolis’ Lake of the Isles and I’m guessing these stately birds must have been crossing the lawn on their way to the water.

There used to be a local band here a long time ago called Flamingo and then they changed their name to the Flamin’ Ohs. If you’re around my age you might have even danced to them. Good old days.
