fgetting a big thumbs up from the tuatara there
warning about the crocodile
just in case you were going to feed your kid to the crocodile
a duck's eye
it's the attention to detail i love. look at the eye on this. not quite sure where i took this photo as the houses are very brick. think this must have been one of my last UK pictures.
no dog OR cat in to our shop
a few things to note about this sign.
first it's addressed to dead.value.customers. they know we appreciate value which is why we shop at their fish and chip shop
and it tells us we can not take any dog OR cat in to our shop. let's ignore the take/bring thing. i can't spell so i can't comment.
but it does make you wonder if you could technically take a dog AND cat in to our shop. i'll have to try it.
Thank you .... (4 dots)
snorkelling sheep
only in new zealand ...
beware of the scarey (scaredy?) cat
i saw this sign out of the bus window last week as i commutted to work and thought to myself that i needed to get a picture of it. luckily we went out for a walk with our friend Abbie on Saturday afternoon and happened to walk by it ! so here it is in nice clearness rather than out the bus window wobblyness !
stags in field
this would be much better if it had the word 'a' in it. ie stags in a field.
don't feed jigsaws to seagulls
thanks to georgina for sending this excellent example of jigsaw etiquette from the sea side.
we learn that seagulls make a mess and can get aggressive. same can be said for many of the visiting tourists after 9pm i suspect.
mountain lions like children
sign with a horse on
horse looks a bit worried
don't feed things
bird poop on this sign is a nice touch.
all animals go in the microwave
funkypancake does not endorse the above phrase, request or statement
quality signage
these were from an animal place we went to a month ago. i asked esther if she could think of an alternative meaning for this sign and she thought it probably meant they smashed a bit of the the outside of animals fur off for security.
we are guinea pigs

lost and found
do you often wonder whatever happened to all those lost cats as seen on signs stuck on posts ? well, this one has been updated to let us know that it's been found, which is great feedback.
however, this cat is still missing which is a shame.
although, now seeing these two signs (which were on the same street) side by side, i note that the one at the top is in a plastic bag and drawing pinned to a tree, whilst the one at the bottom was laminated and cable-tied to a post and offers a 100 pounds reward. but which one has been more successful ? anyway, i hope the other cat turns up too.
dangerous animal sign
look at the big chunk out of this hand. nasty. (sent by andrew if i remember correctly)
cows with carves can be aggressive
"cows with carves" would make a good band name i think.
penguins are ideal for checking under cars
(austrialian photo from australian travelling hannah)
memories fade
the memories are fading fast
fly tipping
fly tipping is a bit like cow tipping. with wings.
frogs crossing
here are some frog crossing signs on a country lane
it's not clear whether these are warnings to frogs or people. they could be outlines of previous incidents.
slow children and animals
a slow animal is a tortoise. children aren't ever slow. unless it's close to bedtime and you ask them to get in to bed quickly.
penguins crossing
paul sent me this photo of penguins crossing in new zealand. isn't it great ! who's paul you ask ? well, he's my old house mate. here are him and i one new year here [cringe]
do not feed the pigeons (and why)
i like how this sign explains the logic about why you shouldn't feed the pigeons.
strictly no fishing
there's strictly no fishing on this bridge.
the two chaps on the bridge are fishing. erm.
do noisy birds not have ears ?
quiet birds have ears. but does the opposite also apply ? if not, why bother with the sign ?
andy's signs
andy went to eurodisney or whatever it's called in the modern world, and caught some great french signs for us:
guineas on the loose
jane was busy doing a toy sale at preschool yesterday so i took the girls to the various curious Wellplace Zoo.
the place has free-range guinea pigs everywhere. esther counted 32 but i think there may have been some double counting as they kept running down little cut-throughs.
in addition to the guinea pigs and taxidermy (nothing is wasted!) they have a collection of fibre-glass dinosaurs !
this one was holding the no-guinea-grabbing sign
expect lots of photos over the next few weeks (i'll spread them out so we don't have zoo animal overload).
young pheasants
motion blurred (because i was moving) sign warning of the danger of young pheasants. we only saw this photo after we'd cycled through about a hundred mad running pheasants on a road !
sheep crossing
here is the actual sheep, actually crossing its actual field.
fantastic
click for big
beef bull & cows in field
i love the weathered-ness of this sign and the image in portrays
sign of a horse
do you sing when you see a sign ? i do.
