953 nut

Pink Flamingo Day is a holiday that is celebrated in the United States on June 23 every year to acknowledge the popular lawn ornament. Pink flamingos are used as decorations in many homes and gardens. Usually made out of plastic, the birds are most popular among working-class homeowners. Eventually, due to saturation, they were considered a bit tasteless. Some people had issues with them because they were unnatural and mass-produced. They argued that they were detrimental to the environment. The pink flamingos have now become a symbol of rebellion, irony, and contradiction.

In April we cruised out of Tampa to Key West, Cozumel, and Progreso.  During our last stop, we passed through the salt ponds of the Yucatán that makes flamingos turn pink!

Had a few of those in the yard over the years. Had one strapped to the port side of the pontoon boat a few years ago.
