    we have pink flamingos close to montpellier.
    you see them when you fly in & out of the airport :)

  3. There are "it bags" and I believe there are "it animals". Hedgehogs and cows in the 90's (on mugs, on cushions, etc. etc.), deers and little birds in the 00's, flamingos for the 10's. I remember a picture from the band you like "Crayon Fields", with nice flamingos too. And then this picture from an old Indian ornithology book I made a huge canevas poster with (http://ensuiteblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/we-had-all-these-plants-in-front-of-our.html)
    I'm wondering what other "it animals" will be during the next years to come. Any ideas?

  4. crazy! you can see flamingoes from the airport? they like the south of france, too? absolutely odd and lovely creatures, what a lovely combination:)

    and ensuite, yes! i totally agree. i must admit i can;t recall the hedgehogs though? i think owls were big in 2009? yay for flamingoes in the 10's! hmmm, other "it animals" for the new decade? I hope maybe some that need our help and attention - whose habitat is being systematically destroyed by the climate change or other effects of consumering...sorry, that is not so much fun as pretty flamingoes though! but it can all reside together, no?
