These pink flamingos mysteriously appeared on my neighbor's front lawn one morning. Flocks of plastic pink flamingos are seen from time to time in Southern California to celebrate a special event like Graduations or Birthdays.
Any fun or offbeat traditions in your slice of paradise?
Happy Pink Saturday.

we have the pink flamingo thing around here... not as frequently though... flocks of pink flamingos look pretty silly standing in snow :)!
Hahaha!
When I was a teen my friend played a prank on me and took all the political signs (it was election time) from our neighborhood and put them in our front lawn. It was FULL of political signs. I thought it was hilarious. My Dad, however, did not. ;)
One of the Christmas traditions I miss from where I grew up is that most of the houses would have luminarias (paper bags with sand and candles in them) all along their sidewalks to their house on Christmas Eve, lighting the path for baby Jesus. It made everything look so pretty.
I always have the urge to put pink flamingos and garden gnomes in my friend's yard. She hates them!
Oh lordie :)
Thats awesome! I think I should adopt this unusual tradition!
I would love to have a yard, just so I could have garden gnomes and pink flamingoes and plastic deer EVERYWHERE.
I love the whole pink flamingo thing! Where I live, it's custom to put them up on people's milestone birthday. My mum got them for hers 40th and even our prime minister got them for his 50th. Awesome!
That happens around here, too. I have always thought it was a fun idea.
They tend to pop up here around peoples 50th..I don't quite get it because when was the last time you saw pink flamingos in Canada?? LOL
LOL -- too funny. A prank? It cracks me up. In high school we "sporked" someone's lawn... put a bunch of those spoon/fork things sticking up. Oh my, didn't we crack ourselves up back then.
Oh.....are you saying Pink Flamingo's are considered a silly joke? I protest the insinuation in the name of Flamingos everywhere.
Would this be silly if Flamingo's were blue or gray? I should think not. LOL
When I was growing up in Wyoming they would stick tons of plastic forks into your lawn. I still don't really know why, but it's pretty funny.
were the flamingoes still there the next days? Flamingoes like that seem to like to go "walking"
Came across your site from Double trouble.
That's pretty cool. Very cute tradition. I have never heard of that:) Thanks for stopping by my blog!
These show up on lawns in the middle of the night as a fund raiser. For $10.00 you can flock your neighbor. The local school raised $6,000.00 one spring.
