Ah, what truer sign of spring than the return of the flamingos?
But wait – what is that through the trees? Could it be… a new sculpture?
I think so!
Hmm. I have no idea what the actual name of this sculpture is, but I’ll dub it “Thoughtful.”
“You call that thoughtful? Check this out. Now me, I’m thoughtful. Chock full of thoughts.” -Chaos
I like it! I can just imagine what the d!ckhe@d next door will say if I had one and started dressing it up 😉 She didn’t appreciate us having a scarecrow, still up in December!!
looks like spring to me!!
I was thinking ‘contemplation’ or ‘waiting for summer’ hehehe.
I normally do not care for sculptures, but this one I like.
Of course I also like the kitty ‘sculpture’.
Cheers Eva
Chaos is the deepest thinking cat I know.
Is that Don Quixote’s horse with the flamingos?
Deep Thoughts…with Chaos Cat. Heh.
I’m not much of a sculpture person either, but this one is different, I do like it.
Oh, the triumphant return of the flamingos! Spring has sprung!
Can you really be called thoughtful crouching in the space above the refrigerator? Or should we really call you “Hiding from Mayhem”? ;o)
I might call that sculpture “Pooping” but it’s early and I didn’t get a real good look at it!
Deb’s comment made me snort my morning tea…
Love it! Mpls. is looking very nice and green already!
Chaos- How did she penetrate your secret lair with that camera-thing?
ABORT THE MISSION! We don’t know what those two-leggers found out!

i can’t believe that guy is pooping on their lawn.
Is that the flamingo house on M’haha Pkwy? or has someone else joined The Flamingo League? Love the sculptures, both of them.
Chris- Forgive me for this, but since it seems to be a male figure, someone should slide a toilet under it and stick a magazine in it’s hand.
Then call it “Guy on the crapper”.
I like the new sculpture.
It’s hysterical that the same house would have those sculptures AND the pink flamingos. Maybe they should get some of those pink tomato cages, too.
You come up with a nice & respectable name for the sculpture and then these naughty commenters go and foul it up.
I thought “The Squatter” when I saw it 😀
Wow! That is a whopping load of flamingos! It’s like they are taking over!
Yard flamingos!
The Squatter…er, Thoughtful, reminded me of The Thinker coming to life in the new Night at the Museum movie. Apparently, he’s not so bright as we would have imagined…
Chaos, however, definitely chock full of the thoughts, oh yes. Anyone can see that.
I would have said contemplative 🙂
I like the sculpture. It’s meditative. I wish I could be it.
Signs of spring in my neighborhood: everyone’s lawn is already shaved bald, whereas mine shows the signs of the argument I had with the lawnmower already (as in, there are strips of mowed grass amidst an ever-lengthening sea of grass and dandelions).
Sigh. My neighbors must adore me. I’m gas-mowing this sucker one last time, then I’m buying a goat. Or a reel mower. Whichever is less expensive.
Chaos is very thoughtful.
That sculpture really does not seem to go with the flamingos.
Chaos thinking: “Has she come into the kitchen to give me dinner? Will it be tuna? Why is she only getting herself a glass of water? Is she going to feed me now? Will it be tuna? Why is she pointing that infernal flashing thing at me again? Is she going to feed me now? Will it be tuna?
Awesome photos! Though I must agree with Chaos – he looks more thoughtful than the new statue.
flamingos as the ultimate sign of spring? you mean that they seriously put them away for the winter?? what a hoot.
methinks he will be needing a scarf this fall… ;o)
I never noticed they took the flamingos away in winter. But I love that sculpture of that guy. It’s just perfect that it’s right on the lake, so it connects to the mood of the people who see it, in a way, because they’re likely enjoying the lake, too.
