Hi welcome to the Flamingo Club, Please step inside.

It just seems right to start this club. Everyday I see Flamingos in the landscape being that I am in sunny Florida.

This is a tribute to the wonderful/sometimes tacky plastic yard bird!

I am not just a member I am the CEO of the F. C.!

Enjoy;

This is a very special spot and I don't take pictures to often of it.
Here is where I laid my little Opie man to rest. Under the Travelers Palm, he loved to go for a ride!

LOL,

I love it! Now it isn't some cheap Chinese plastic mold, but a dramatic energy declaring an expression of excitement in the garden.

I think my flamingos will be needing a new paint-job this next coming season; I really love the choice of blue! This shade of blue just 'pops' in the garden.

My flamingos have thinner metal legs. Did you coat these to make them look thicker or were they already that thick? I like the bright red-orange legs.

Are there real Flamingos in Florida? I know there is the Scarlet Ibis, but I cannot remember if you guys have actual flamingos.

Awesome! :throw

Ron; Thanks, One mans art is another mans junk!

The legs are custom! The legs were kicked off the poor thing by the troubled kids in the hood.

I have the technology, we can rebuild!

This is the $5.00 Flamingo .......

The legs are just some Bamboo with cheap WalrusWorld red paint!
I found some wire that fit snug in the holes of the poor battered bird and hammered them into the bamboo.
I did mention I save everything! Junk? No I can make ................

The knots make for nice knees on the legs.

Why Blue Crab Of course!

I do make a fine Blue Crab feast!

The fun part is catching the crab!

No traps here! That is cheating!

Meat on a string and a hand net! Fun and very exciting to watch newbie's.

Are they still flamingoes if they are blue? How about Blue Bird of Paradise? :throw
I like that! The Blue Bird Of Paradise, should I ever open a exotic tropical garden nightclub/lounge/resort, that will be a great name!

One can only dream!
