Photo 56 of the 365 Project.
This sign is apparently owned by the proprietors of "The Hillbilly Cafe" which is some form of eatery attached to the BP gas station.
I have so many questions. Does the salad bar price warrant an apology? Do Le Roy residents usually pay less for the salad bar? Perhaps there is no connection...but it deserves a big ol' WTF.
Upon discussing this with my wife, she has come to the conclusion that this sign represents the owners' running social commentary. There is more to the story here. I think I shall monitor the changing of this sign more frequently.
Winter-plumaged Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) has same color pattern as snow-covered dead grass - it blends in with its surroundings.

Maybe these mean: don't throw giant bottles out of the windows; people shouldn't jump out of the window. Or, they might mean: don't let giant bottles and people open windows. Or maybe, giant bottles and people shouldn't watch the scenery go by.
Oligosoma inconspicuum. Otago Peninsula. South African ice plant (Carpobrotus edulis).
This population on Otago Peninsula is entirely dependent on a small slope of South African ice plant, which holds enough cover and moisture to enable them to persist at the site. There are no cryptic skinks in the surrounding maram grass which is dominated by Oligosoma polychroma.
Found on a sidewalk. View large and see if you can decipher it.
My guess: This document is illustrating how the popularity of highrise treehouses is negatively effecting the neighbourhood's smaller treehouses, half of which have been forced out of business.
Part of a series for a lighting class. The objective was to carry the same feeling throughout different images. I tried to go for the cryptic, erie and antique look.

Grotto Trail, Zion National Park
The intricacy of the forces that shaped Zion unfolded themselves in a microscopic fashion on our hike to Angels Landing. The big and small caves over the vertical face were beautiful and delicate. The ones in the photo just looked like faces in a piece of abstract art!

These small clusters of hidden, venomous sea anemones were discovered in a deep, dark hole (puka) in a lava rock formation by me during reef surveys that my husband & I were conducting in Honaunau Bay, Hawaii. This species had not previously been reported on the Big Island. During our 900 hours of diving in this location, we only located this unique animal in one other spot, but due to unfavorable ocean conditions were unable to return to that location again to photograph them. Sea anemones are predatory, marine animals of the order Actiniaria.
*After discovering these hidden anemones, it took several consecutive years of scuba diving to photograph them under mostly turbid or dim light conditions. The day finally came to do our poster presentation at Western Illinois University, Annual Meetings of the Illinois State Academy of Science.

I often call myself a birder but it was Sherri who found a pair of Long-earred Owls resting on the branches of a big cottonwood. This photo was taken along the San Pedro River beside the San Pedro Inn.

I finally figured it out, after seeing a few more of them in various places along the road, looking carefully at the road 'n' surroundings, going back to look at the sign again, etc.
I don't find the symbol to be immediately understandable... do you? Anyone want to guess what it means?
