Pretty in pink on my walk today

I took this photo with my iPhone leaning up against a telescope.

It’s a roseate spoonbill. The long beak is rounded like a spoon at the end so it can scoop up shrimp and other pink crustaceans, which is how its feathers get that great color.

I’m so grateful for my island life and the amazing nature I see every day.

Hope you get to walk somewhere wonderful today, too!
