Flocks of pink flamingos stood one-legged in marshes. Fields of cork trees, their bark stripped and dated, were surrounded by grazing livestock. Storks nested on constructed platforms of power line towers. Lush green fields were covered by spring flowers, a rainbow of purple, yellow and white blooms accented with brilliant red poppies. These were “the colors of Portugal’s Alentejo.”
