Not because of this robin necessarily, but there were plenty of birds singing today, and what is more I saw my first butterfly on the wing this year - a Brimstone.

 

Surprisingly, this seems to be my first photo of a European Robin on flickr, despite it being such a regular bird that is often easy to photograph.

Outside of Lake Placid, the Cracker Trail is aligned with State Road 66.

Located in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia, the C & O Restaurant has been in operation since 1976, across the street from the old Chesapeake and Ohio train station. I photographed this terrific sign from the sidewalk across the street as well. Information from the restaurant's website.

Drybridge Lodge, Mostyn, built in 1849 by Ambrose Poynter, is one of a fine series of 19th century lodges and gates forming the architectural setting of Mostyn Park. It is a castellated lodge of 2 storeys superimposed on a bridge above a road, with an integral tunnel through the building itself.

This sign in Concordia, Missouri was made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Breese, IL

 

Ski is a citrus-flavored soda native to Chattanooga--but the nearest bottler in St. Louis is in Breese, IL. The first time I tried it, a friend asked if it was more like 7Up, Squ|rt, or Mountain Dew. I had to say it was more like carbonated Pledge. The locals are really proud of it, though. And this sign at Excel Bottling is fantastic!

 

(The eccentric spelling in the previous paragraph is a test; I got oodles of hits on this photo within 24 hours of putting it up--like, a real eyebrow-raising number. So. We'll see if it's as popular now.)

Kahala'u Beach Park

Framlingham is a market town and parish in Suffolk. Of Anglo-Saxon origin, it appears in the 1086 Domesday Book when it then consisted of several manors.

The medieval Framlingham Castle is where Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon, was proclaimed Queen of England in 1553. There is a large mere next to it which used to supply the castle with fish.

St. Michael's church is the final resting place of members of the Howard family who were Dukes of Norfolk and Henry FitzRoy, 1st. Duke of Richmond and Somerset (1519 to 1536), an illegitimate son of Henry VIII.

The town sign is positioned in the market place and is surmounted by the name. Below is shown the castle and the church. Beneath the castle is one of two of the oldest pillar boxes in the country still in use, dating from 1856 marked V. R. Victoria Regina, after Queen Victoria. In the centre is the armorial crest of Framlingham and on the right is the parish pump with its two spouts. At the bottom is an image of ducks swimming on the mere.

 

If I heeded these signs, I'd never have gotten any of the great pictures I've taken in these places.

Tulsa, OK; this sign replaced just a few months later with a plastic box sign:

The World's Most Perfect Road Sign...

One of the many antique shops on Portobello Road in London

Ensign's 401, P563 MSX a Volvo B10 artic / Plaxton Coach is pictured missing part of its fleetname. Not due to someone having a bit of a chortling wheeze, but due to it being sold and the fleetname in the process of being removed.

This was the purpose of the whole trip. I now have the Arkansas "Welcome" sign - yay!

I photographed this image during the Fall in Jim Thorpe, Pa, where I was doing an art show called: The Halloween Opera. After setting up, I went around the town with my mom exploring. Jim Thorpe is a great place to explore.

After I downloaded my images, I decided to alter them and bring out the magic and enchantment, I saw when I took the picture

I love how so many of these look like instructions rather than warnings ;)

CAMERON NC: Taken at the semi-annual, village-wide,

antique sale.

(Update: neon gone as of winter 2010-11.) Old signage at the end of the Fullerton and Grand CTA bus lines. It's been a tacqueria during all the years I've come by and taken shots...

this sign was a first for me, found a few miles out of Battle Creek, Mi. in the middle of farm country

Seen on the door of some complex-looking electrical equipment at CERN (the european centre for nuclear physics research) in Geneva.

Thanks for stopping by. Your comments, however brief, are always welcome.
