Signs, sign, everywhere a sign, blockin out the scenery, breaking my mind, do this don't do that, can't you read the sign?

.

Over the 4th of July holiday weekend, I went on a walk with my Mother in law at our family cabin. We spotted a sign that was very funny. It's stuck in my telephone's camera for now. I'll have to get it out and post it at a later time. This brought me to this post about signs. This picture I speak of, It was going to be in this post, but none the less. I'll post without it.

.

When we got home from the cabin, I quickly unpacked, and headed out for the open road for a ride on my motorcycle. As I was out, I passed many signs that I've seen and noticed several times before.

.

It seems signs fall into three main categories.

.

Signs that tell us what we can, or cannot do, such as no tresspassing, posted speed limits, or stop signs, Etc. .

.

.

Signs that mark landmarks, such as street signs.

.

.

Signs that advertize something.

.

.

And while riding on a motorcycle, signs that just plain make us smile, such as Twisty road ahead signs.

.

.

I'll be sure to post more signs that make me smile in the future.

.

.

Ann Nelson from Random Thoughts blog had a great post that included some funny signs from Canada.

.

Check these out!http://annnelson.blogspot.com/2008/07/3-reasons-why-i-love-canada.html
