The story behind having this flamingo (we had two, but I have no idea where the other one went), is that we had a plan for them.
My younger brother had a birthday coming up, and he despises "yard trash." Basically, anything that is not growing naturally, and is put out for yard decorations.
Our plan?
We had planned to buy a few more if we could find them, and sneak over to my brother's house and "flamingo" his yard for his birthday.
Now that I see how the flamingo looks, we may just collect a few more, and maybe a bird bath for them too. It may just happen one of these years.

Well, turned out she liked 'em and put them in her flower bed up closer to her front porch, so our little joke on her turned out to be a joke on us. LOL
Me, I like yard trash and have many many birdhouses including one of a haunted house, a lighthouse and a couple of churches, along with an elves' village, a toad's house (though no toad has lived in it yet), several mushroom houses and even a miniature camper/trailer park set up in the yard. I also have many gnomes and animals - rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, a frog, a snail, a turtle and even a buffalo. There's also an arbor filled with solar lanterns that lights up the arbor at night along with a solar light up cross that glows in the garden at night. Bro Tom makes me put them all in natural areas though so he doesn't have to move them all when he mows the grass. I'm just glad he puts up with my child-like imagination.
God bless.
