Thank you to Lesley for hosting SIGNS SIGNS.
A couple of explanations — or disclaimers — or something — are in order.
I found these lost pictures this week – in the process of doing a massive file cleanup (AKA photo dump). The pictures only go together in my mind… they weren't taken at the same time or in the same place.
The sign was in Ajo Arizona where we stayed on our Fall 2011 roadtrip. The birds (and they are quail) were taken in a different year — through our window the last time we had snow in our backyard . This was in Oregon in November 2010 — the last time we spent a winter there).
The second explanation… for my dear blogging friends in France, Japan, and other countries: there is a deliberate misspelling on the sign, just for fun.
I'll be dumping the quail because it's a rather horrifyingly bad picture, but I'll probably keep the sign for a while just because I think it's so funny. Here's another sign from the same Arizona town. It tells you a lot about that area:
We appreciate all visitors and commenters! Thank you.
