I stopped at Sunken Gardens yesterday to see how all the wonderful plants, birds and butterflies were doing for the winter. All the bird cages were empty as we are preparing for the coldest night of the year. But the flamingos were out eating in their pen so I capture a few images of my beautiful friends!
