Sign Around Town, The Meme

 

Here's a few signs from my wacky "sign around town" collection.

Following a discussion with Nils, I'm thinking of making this a regular feature, say one that we could post the last Saturday of the month, for example.   Details on that will come soon.

In the meantime, here's your sign...er, meme! 

The biggest problem with the birds is that they never read the signs.

 

Humans don't either, apparently.  Note the Stay Back 10 ft Rule.

Then I looked over, and there's Richard! Encouraging them to break the rules!

Over at the park, they ask us not to feed the animals, and under no circumstances should we offer them a martini:

The Beatles were one of the best bands of all time:

Commissioners felt $110 was too little, and $115. was just too much!

 

Florida does its best to combat illiteracy. This is the letter H:

We've got some great blogs joining us today!

Some of them might not have their signs up yet. (In which case, give them some time to get it together. ;)  You'll have all weekend to post, as I might not be back till Sunday or Monday.


Signing around the blogosphere are:

 
Janet at Fond of Snape 
Sonia from Leaves of Grass she is blogging from Brazil!  
Janie from KeepintheFaith
Linda from RVVagabonds
MaryBeth at Small City Scenes of Stanwood
Naomi from the Old Old Lady of the Hills
Deana from Friday Night Fish Fry
Nils Ling at Truths and Half-Truths
Jac at The Nonessentials

UPDATES:

Eduardo from Drops Azul Anis S has signs in Spanish as well!

Me and Puppies has a good one up!  Check out his great dog photography as well. ;)

Carl has a few from the Tallahassee, North Florida region. Beautiful up there.

SUNDAY UPDATE: I was chaperoning till midnight last night, and couldn't update my site until now. I'll  be home  today, so if you'd still like to add a sign, leave a note in comments and I'll add you to the list!  New readers are always welcome!

And last, but not least, a parting sign from a local sailboat, something I think we all would like a bit of in our everyday lives:

I knew yours would be entertaining and you didn't disappoint! Great stuff, and funny too. I am on my way to finish mine up. Thanks for the great meme.

[Sonia]

Great signs, Laura! Love all them but the sign "Keep off Rocks" with the heron behind it and "Don't Feed the Animals" are just amazing signs! Wonderful photos, too!

I am so glad to join this Meme, Laura! Thank you so much for the invite! Now, I am going to visiting other blogs.

[Seamus]

LMAO at the "no martini/animal" sign. Excellent finds!

[Janet]

hahaha the poor animals can't have martinis, so sad! You gave me some great ideas for next time :-)

Mine's up!

[pam]

What a great meme! LOVE your signs!

But I don't have mine up yet... you'll have to pull my name, sorry.

I'll link to you when I finally do it...! :)

Oh I LOVE these! The one with the Heron is wonderful, and the Don'y Feed The Anilals....a Martini Glass...LOL...Who do you suppose thought that one up??
ALL of them are great! Love that very last one, too....FREEDOM, ain't it the truth! Thanks Laura...This is such a great idea...I am enjoying visiting the different people, very much!

I love the #113 fine - it's priceless!

I thought I didn't have anything for you, but I've just remembered one I can use next time. Let me know when you're doing it again, okay?

When I was in England, I drove past this sign posted on a country road, but unfortunately I didn't stop to get a photo.

Hi Laura, Found my way here through Fond of Snape. I, too, have an interest in signs and have photographed several. Great idea for a meme. I just posted mine.

[Carl]

I found about the photo challenge via Fond of Snape, also. I've got a photo that may interest you. I took it last year south of Tallahassee, Florida in Wakulla County, FL and can been seen at http://www.anniemayhem.com/portfolio/misc02.html

[Linda/RV Vagabonds]

Loved the signs but loved your captions more, especially the one about not giving birds martinis. Thanks for the meme--it was fun!

[Sonia]

Hi Laura, thanks for your visiting!

The E means "Estacionar" in Portuguese, that means in English, "Park". E with the red line on it means "Proibido Estacionar", that means in English "Forbid to Park" or "No Park".

I updated the legend of the sign's fence, now I wrote "Beware Anti-Social Dog". It's better than "Warning".

I really adore the last picture with the "FREEDOM" boat in Clearwater. It makes me miss going to the beaches in Clearwater so much. Thank you for always sharing the most amazing photographs.

[Bucky Four-Eyes]

I sure hope the ban on martinis doesn't extend to domesticated animals...otherwise, the drunken cats and I are in an awful lot of trouble.

To be on the safe side, I'll just give them margaritas from now one.

[Bucky Four-Eyes]

...or from now ON.

(It's okay...we're a little illiterate in Michigan.)

Great!
Sorry the dog ate my homework on this one!

Hi, this is a coincidence, but I was just going to start posting one of my "sign photos" and saw that you wanted to start doing pretty much the same thing on a regular basis. You can add me to the list:

I think you have my posting name and site url above, but the address is:

By the way, yours are great! I like the "Keep Off" shot.
