Flamingo on One Leg

Balanced gracefully on one long thin leg with the other tucked up, this flamingo curves its S-shaped neck down low toward the shallow water, showing off its thick down-curved beak while gentle ripples spread around its foot. The long, flowing lines of the leg and neck make it an elegant page, and of course it is the perfect excuse to reach for every shade of pink you own. The single standing leg and bent neck are great for talking about balance — flamingos really do rest on one leg, and scientists think it helps them save energy and stay warm. They get their famous pink color from the tiny shrimp and algae they eat in the water. Color the body a soft pink, the legs a brighter pink, and the beak with a black tip. Print it on US Letter or A4 for a graceful, rosy result.
