The Flamingo’s-Eye View

I took an enjoyable interlude in my wanderings in Buffalo’s Delaware Park that included getting the nice lake-eye views of the Lincoln Parkway Bridge I shared last month. I wonder if Frederick Law Olmsted ever imagined something like flamingo paddle boats as a potential use of the lake he designed. I don’t know if he would approve, but I had fun stepping out of the ordinary for a hour to view the lake and the park from the flamingo’s perspective. Below you can vicariously join me on the experience in a short video or in the sample of photos I took around the lake (including one with at least 4 turtles sunning themselves).

One thought on “The Flamingo’s-Eye View

  1. you won’t be disappointed that I think of everything as Baltimore – native say b’mur – and it takes me some minutes to transition to other places. Baltimore residents think they invented the yard flamingo. I can watch theater movies with Las Vegas and the flamingo hotel, and people gasp. There is a Christmas parade on 34th St. with the flamingo diner. Their green eggs and ham. Come with a flamingo. Sad to say, they have closed.
