Flamingo Surprise

Wednesday morning I was in the shower and I kept hearing “bark….bark, bark….BARK”. Now, mind you, Denis was downstairs with the dog, so I couldn’t figure out what on earth was bothering Molly. (This wasn’t the usual frantic alarm bark she uses to let us know that there’s a C.A.T. on the front lawn.) Apparently, there were three people out there (at 6 AM, in the rain) planting 50 flamingoes in our yard. It’s a fund raiser the local marching band is doing, where you can pay to have the flamingoes sent to someone’s house for 24 hours. My parents decided to send them to us… Anyway, I couldn’t get any good pictures before we left (it was too dark and rainy), and by the time we got home it was almost dark, so I dug out my tripod and played with the long exposure setting on my digital camera. I think it actually came out pretty well!
