They're Pink from Algae

I don't remember the last time I cried this hard during a movie. In fact I don't think I ever have.

The movie? The Crimson Wing from Disneynature. Yeah, the one about the flamingos.

I'm not really sure why I had that reaction. Maybe it was the horror of watching baby flamingos trip and fall into the sulfuric puddles because of the salt blocks that have collected around their ankles. Or maybe it was the beautiful design of having 'guide birds' to help the small chicks make their way across the lake. Either way, I was completely overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions that I'm a bit dumbfounded by it.

Oh dear. Another thing to process.
