Parades of Pink Flamingos
Each day, as I take my hike up the hill, I notice more houses sporting parades of pink flamingos in their front yards. Sometimes one house will trade them off to another house, but there are at least three houses right now with these crazy decorations. I was puzzled about it and wondered if the purpose was to scare the deer away from eating flowers. Then, after searching online, I found a forum that mentioned "pink flamingos are uglier than wild turkeys and would scare them off". We have had many wild turkeys roaming the neighborhoods and grazing on lawns for the last year or so. There was even an albino turkey in the pack. I thought they were sort of cute, but I guess it has gotten so bad that the neighbors became desperate to try anything to make them go away. Even if it means having dozens of tacky plastic flamingos in their front yards! Hope it works. On the way down the hill, I saw the turkeys doing their thing.

If you are in Chicago, go see Jared Joslin's solo art show "Stop, Look and Glisten" at Firecat Projects, 2124 N. Damen Ave.- it opened May 27th and will be on view until June 18th.
It looks like a magical show with a magical theme.

La Biennale di Venezia
What is this? It's art, of course! Some things look a little more like science projects.
"A man jogs on top of an overturned armoured tank in an installation by artists Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla (U.S.A.) during the 54th International Art Exhibition in Venice on June 2, 2011."
Interesting tidbit: These two artists live in Puerto Rico. She went to the U. of Richmond (VA).
I wonder if the man on the tank had an understudy, just in case he got tired of jogging.
I went to the Venice Biennial once a long time ago. I think it was Jasper Johns' year when he was awarded the grand prize for painting. There were only 40 countries represented then.
