Today's entry in this category is the Flamingo House. Located just a few miles inland from Pescadero, for many years it was known far and wide as the peculiar house across the creek with a zillion flamingos stuck into the ground (no, not real flamingos, just the plastic ones on steel rods that you place into the ground).
I don't know the story behind the flamingos, and I can't even make one up that's nearly as interesting as the visual itself. I do recall "for sale" signs on the house some years ago, and it was about that time that the flamingos took flight. I just came across a photo I took in November, 2004, when the flamingos were in full force. Then today, as I rode past, I stopped and took another photo of the same house, which for years had no flamingos but now sports maybe three. ]]>15122011-02-07 00:43:262011-02-07 07:43:26
