3580 The flock

When your hand is in the tiger's mouth, you have to pet the head.

Becs asked for a photo of the flamingos.  There are only a few standing here at the new house, and those few were arranged by a 15-month old toddler, so no photos yet.  But here is the flock from 2008, at the old house, in an unmowed section of the side yard.  There are 30 of them.

3579 Flamingo!

Touching an idol tarnishes the gilt.

This evening the Nugget discovered the garbage can full of flamingos in the back yard, and she seemed to know exactly what we're supposed to do with them.  One already had legs, and she planted that one herself.  After that, she selected a body, her mommy added the legs, and then Nugget carried them to me at the end of the yard, where several pairs are now nestled among the Japanese knotweed.

A pair of flamingos in the yard is tacky.  Thirty of them in tall weeds is pure camp.
