St. Louis Zoo-Inside The Box

Uploaded: November 01, 2006

Description

Last night @ the Halloween Party a little girl was leaving & stopped @ my table, I heard her tell her mother she didn't see the Flamingos. So the mother told me that last year there were some flamingo decorations & that the little girl really loved flamingos. So I thought I had one on here & gave her my card so see could find my gallery. So here is a flamingo for the little girl @ the party...: ) I put it Inside the Box for you...: )

Thank you Sam and Donna...: )

I love flamingo pictures myself and she seemed so disappointed...This one was taken at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago where I took the lion picture,,,I had an awesome day that day with my new zoom lens...

The original was not quite so closely cropped I did crop it a little closer when I looked at it and this title popped in my head...I thought I needed to make it look like he was squeezed into the box...I think the position of his head and neck is what made me think of the title...

Thanks again and have a good evening...: ) Debbie : ) #3539306

STAY...Yeah...
