This first one is my favorite. It's not often that you see a duck, a cherub, a sailor, the Virgin Mary, and Uncle Sam hanging out together.
And finally...
this is where their house died from embarrassment!
I spent an hour driving around on a golfcart to take all these photos. Not one person stuck their head out to ask why I was photographing their front yard. Go figure.
So, I hope you found the parade of Tchotchkes as entertaining as I did. I will be back to normal blogging tomorrow. I might even make a few New Year's resolutions. No better way to start off the new year than with high expectations and immediate failure.

Oh, I'm dying here!.
I love the pelican, crocodile and Santa hanging out.
The kissing Dutch kids are the ultimate in front yard crap and that headstone is way too much.
**ClAP clap clap**
I LOVE the parade, specially the part where no one asked you what kind of rebel outfit you belonged to, by taking all those pictures.
You do realize that a mutual friend of ours actually has one of those crocodiles although she doesn't keep it in the yard thankfully! ;)
Your parade rocks! I'm not sure which is my favorite, the laid back turtle from round one or the kissing dutch kids.
Nicely done.
No way! Where did you find this grand parade?
I want to know what you were doing in my front yard, side yard, and back yard. Obviously, I wasn't home to see you taking pictures or I would have decorated the place.
The gnome with the shovel has a disturbing smile. Why? Because he doesn't much like the lazy, laughing gnome lounging in the shade. Shovel gnome is getting ready to bludgeon his jolly little "friend" into oblivion. He'll bury the body (under the convenient Wildview Ct. tombstone) and have the landscape all to himself.
CSI: Fort Myers.
Wow. The parade was worth the wait.
The first one here is my favorite as well. It's like the start of a bad joke. "A duck, Uncle Sam, and the Virgin Mary walked into a bar..."
That is so awesome! Where can I get me some?
Love it! Bravo. Around here we don't have as many kissing Dutch kids as we do wooden sillouttes of gardeners bending over. Have you seen those? *shudder*
Glad the parade was such a huge success!
NCS: I liked that one a lot too. Seemed pretty random.
Carol: Are we speaking of Trish? :)
KB: Thanks!
GcQ: Ft. Myers, FL. My in-laws live in a retirement community during the winter and apparently all those old people are very bored.
Swampwitch: Just admiring your yard, of course.
Radioactive: ROFLOL...your comment is hysterical.
Omar: That's what I thought!
CW: I can "borrow" a few for you next time we visit. Just let me know which of those little gems suits your fancy.
Butterfly: There was one of those! It was hard to pick which to post...believe it or not, I had about 85 pics to choose from. Thanks for stopping by.
My favorite's the one of the pelican, mini-Santa and mini-gator. That says Christmas like nothing else.
I've restrained my kitschy taste and limited my front yard decor to one tiny pink flamingo garden stake.
WTH? These people need to get out of the ceramics shed once in a while because they're stuck in Landscaping: 70's style, mode. Maybe they can auction the stuff off to the set of "That 70's Show" and feed hungy children or something. Oh, and I demand to know why they deprived their gnomes of those garden globe thingies. They seem naked without it and that's just cruel.
The alligator is my favorite. Or is it a croc? You know what's sad is, the lawn ornament people have been set up for life because of these folks. If only I'd had the idea of creating ugly crap for people to put on their front lawns. :)
"Where their house died of embarrassment"
YAY!!!
