Today, while my two young charges were attending reading hour at the Cherry Hill Library, I skulked out onto the floor to capture a few signs hawking books. What better sign can you find!
Take note of the Elephant and Piggie sign. If you have small children or grandchildren, go to your local library and pick one or more of these up. They are hysterical and adorable. Oh, by Mo Willems (no I didn’t leave out the ‘i” and mistype the “a”. It really is Willems.:-). )
And, speaking of my charges, this little guy is wearing a sign as well.
I had to include the cute little pouty lips.
Since we had a torrential downpour this morning, I put my bike ride off til I got home. I didn’t really overwhelm you with too many fun fotos up top, so I thought I’d take my camera on my ride and point and click in the park. I was amazed at the number of signs I came across. These are just some.
hydrant
This is actually the second stop sign on my route. I thought the hydrant gave it a little more class. 🙂
stop arrow
Then comes the stop sign warning – telling you that a stop sign is up ahead. HUH? (if you look way down the road a piece, you’ll see the actual stop sign this sign is referring to. WHAT?
One Way
Believe it or not, there was another Do Not Enter sign to the right. Can you say Overkill?
Slow Down!
This sign is suppose to register your speed. I guess I wasnt’ going all that fast. I’m working on it!
Phone
A little retro here. And there really is a pay phone under this sign. It’s seen better days, but it works!
Road Closed
Do you think they want you to stay out?
Last sign
A few more rules and regs before leaving the park. And none too soon. This was a sign that it was time for me to go home!!!!
Rocky Raccoon
This one’s a little blurry and understandably so. I was shaking in my boots when I shot this. I’m a little leery of these guys. It all started back in 1970, in the San Fransisco Bay area. But that’s another story for another day.
Please click on the cute little critter below to see other entries @ Ceephotography.com. This guy doesn’t freak me out – as much. 🙂
Hope you had a little fun.
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate each and every visit.
Dear Bliary 
I like these signs. The vintage phone cracks me up. Although they say should there ever be some kind of apocalypse that renders cell phones useless, we should know the location of a pay phone and have some change handy. I wonder how much it costs to play Words With Friends on it…..
I also love the little plant at the bottom of the stop sign.
Haha! Words. Good one. I’ll find a way! That and Dice with Buddies. I’d be lost without them. So I know where the phone is and I’m loaded down with change. I wonder if it’s enough. Lets try to make a call next lunch. There’s got to be another near Mastori’s. Maybe…
Yes! We’ll practice for the apocalypse.
It’s not like we never used a pay phone before 😉
great photos, thanks for sharing. We’ll have to take some snapshots here in Ecuador of signs and not translate them. The road signs are pretty obvious even without a translator.
Thanks, J&M.
Go for it! It will be a challenge within a challenge. 😉
Great stuff! Just taking my camera out in a public library over here got me threatened by security to be kicked out if I tried to take any pictures.
You know. That thought crossed my mind, but nobody said anything. I must be too imposing. 😉
Good ‘seeing’ you. Thanks for the visit, Allan. Do you remember that guy I sent you a photo of with the cane, crossing the street – my version of street photography? ‘Member? I saw him come out of his house and I saw him a different day walking down the street. He dresses like that every day, apparently. Wild, huh? I keep looking for more photos that say ‘street’. I’m struggling but not giving up. People are tough subjects for me. Blah!
I enjoyed your signs, Gemma. They are certainly all too easy to spot when you don’t want them in photographs, aren’t they? 😉
They are EVERYWHERE! In triplicate! 😉
i loved seeing the hostas at the base of the stop sign! sigh, i don’t see hostas often! geat post!
You can’t walk without tripping over hostas here. With all your fabulous flora? Missing hostas? I’ll have to rethink my appreciation. 😉
Love the pouty lips, Gemma. I wouldn’t wear that T-shirt though. It might attract bugs to me, and I wouldn’t want that. 😯 Enjoyed your signs.
He keeps going into the closet to watch them glow in the dark. Apparently he’s braver than the both of us! 😉
😆
I’d love to hear your raccoon story! Your photos were fun to read and look at. Great signs.
Thanks, Cee. Sometime I’ll tell you about me, my hippy friends, my trip to California and the two raccoons that turned me off to – ah – raccoons. 😉
I’m glad you liked my post. Sometimes I worry I’m stretching the topic, but, that’s me. Always just a little bit unconventional. Nothing too crazy. Just a smidge. 🙂
The Childrens section of libraries are always so much more appealing nowadays Gemma which I think is fantastic.Love the retro phone !
Sometimes I think we overdo it on signs over here in UK they can spoil a view or the info be tad obvious 😉 ….
I just discovered this library. Sadly, it’s much better than the one in my own town which is more concerned about its restaurant district. Everything has a purpose, I suppose. Collingswood’s is to pack on the pounds.
I love libraries. My son is a book fan and everytime we go there, it’s a fun treat. Signs …we do need them a lot.
Good for your son! Nothing better than a good book and a fresh brewed cup if coffee. (That will come later) 😉
Sign, sign…every where a sign…
You too, huh? Heehee
I’m amused by your “Rocky Raccoon” –
I hope he will notice the red-white striped sign
– whatever it will say 🙂
Somehow I missed this one — and I love it!
Especially your comments about the Nanny Park Powers-that-be!
Hit-over-the-head signage their specialty —
😉
My tax donero at work!
