Interesting Signs

We have done NO travel since the start of this pandemic. So, my first project was to add all of our old travels to my blog. Then, I started another project of the types of things that normally aren't all that post-worthy. I always find it interesting to read signs from around the world (including here in the States) that may not be something you see every day or even know what it means. 

One of my favorite signs that I didn't get a photo of since we were on a tour going from one place to another and I happened to look out the window to see a sign on a restaurant. It said, "Not Cat, Chinese Food". Many of the signs were taken through the windows of a vehicle often flying by them. So, not all great photos, just fun stuff. 

Our end goal since we are birders is to choose the best photo of each bird that we have seen in our travels. That will take probably years as we have thousands of photos of birds. So, I'm saving that one for last. However, I have gathered wall art & graffiti which I will post next. I gathered a ton of "people photos". I love getting photos of people just going about their day-to-day life. Went through some of my favorite fish and corals. I love mushrooms, fungus etc.  Another post will include interesting or pretty insects and another mammal photos. Reptiles and crustations. I also enjoy seeing pets or strays around the world and they catch my attention. So, lots of "interesting" subjects that aren't the highlights of our destinations, but they still caught our attention. 

The signs are in no particular and I hope you enjoy them and maybe have a giggle or two. The signs are hard to read in this small format, so better to see the larger photos online.
