The Great Flamingo Rescue

So, there was this pair of flamingos hanging out on the side of the interstate; we had seen them several times in passing, always commenting that they must be saved from their mundane existance of watching the traffic rush by. On our trip home from Virginia, the plan was laid in place~ we would get those magnificent pink birds! As we approached the exact location (which had been noted by mile marker), a state trooper drove by. But we did not waver from the mission we had set for ourselves. As I readied the camera, Richard climbed the embankment and gathered up those flamingos, rushed down the little hill, tossed the birds in the car, and we made our get-away. They are living on our front lawn to this day, but we know they won't be happy here forever. Soon, they will be released in a new part of I-295 and continue on their wonderful journey. Who left them in the first place? We may never know. We can only hope that they continue to have a life full of adventure, and be happy knowing that we've added to their experiences.
