Set wide the window.

Let me drink the day.

    Because really, what could be better than starting the day by sharing a drink with a flamingo?

    and sometimes all you need is a new friend on a beautiful beach surrounded by your old friends, who offers you a cool drink, to make everything right with the world.

    I love how it seems to pretend nothing is going on with that human as the others pass by… not wanting to share?

    Brilliant match of video and quote.

    And I love how it sounds like the other flamingos are mocking the one drinking as if they have no time for the drinker’s foolishness!

    Thanks for the smiles and chuckles.
