The Scarlet Ibis

While trawling through my old photos last night I found this picture of a Scarlet Ibis I took while at the World of Birds, South Africa.


The Scarlet Ibis

I love this photo, the red of the ibis is made all the more vibrant by the drabness of soil, rock, and dusty plant.

I highly recommend clicking on the photo, or here to see it in full size.

I absolutely love this picture as well. I'm actually thinking of getting a scarlet ibis tattoo, and I'd love to use this image for inspiration. Would you mind?

I wouldn't mind at all. If you do get a tattoo based on my photo, I would love to see pictures, and add them to the blog.
