Flamingos Everywhere V

If you look closely, you can see that I back-stitched around the peach flamingo's head where it touched the orange wing of the yellow flamingo.  I used 2-ply of the darker peach Splendor. 

The wing of the blue flamingo is stitched in the Diagonal Scotch stitch.  The cheek was done in a Cashmere stitch.

The remainder of my free time was devoted to more stitching on the sky and sand.  I plan to wrap this up next week, so think positive thoughts about rapid stitching. 

Here's my progress so far:
