Hey! I like my pink flamingoes! Of course they are in the backyard, not the
front. And my gnome is there too! Actually, they all are next to the pool

I have a lot of junk sitting out in my gardens or attached to trellises,
but I tend to avoid anything plastic or TOO tacky, though a brick with a
rat carved in it might look less ideal to some than to me. Apart from
rocks & logs & limbs that contribute to an artful chaos, such
human-manufactured stuff as this rusty old broken millstone meets my ideal
for garden knicknackery, & it was just something found in the sub-basement
when we bought the house:
