Two pink flamingos stand on a grassy lawn in front of a dense green hedge, with a chain-link fence and a patch of blue sky visible at the upper left. The birds are shown in profile with their characteristic curved necks and pale bills tipped in black, and a few small red flowers bloom at the lower left. The scene appears to be a zoo, park, or garden enclosure; no caption or location is printed on the picture side.

Hi Folks!
It has been some
cold here but we have plenty
of sunshine. We are staying
in a trailer park in the
woods, on a small lake,
where they caught a ten
pound bass lately. We
have picked up a lot of
pretty shells on the Gulf
and are enjoying ourselves
