Road Signs _ Thematic Photography

Don't you just hate it when you are told to wait for the tour guide who will be holding a sign and they fail to show up. Packaged tours are not all they are cracked up to be.

The road signs round here are not much use.

Holes to be avoided

Our speed does not register

We fly over it

Mind you we take the hump when it disturbs they disturb the airflow.

We need eyes in the side of our head to know where to go to school

One we ignore

Doesn't apply to us

And remember this is where we come back to next April or May.

Switch on the sat-for Africa

Signs - Thematic Photography

I have been having trouble loading photos from Google photos since they changed their system. They load in a post OK but visitors to my blog can't see them, especially when the post is shared on Facebook. Even there I can't see them either unless I'm signed in to Google.

So I am trying to upload them differently today.

There are many signs that I see on my daily walk to fetch a newspaper. My daughter will recognise their location I'm sure as she went on the same walk with me when over here recently.

Sign of the times

Not what it seems

When you see this:

No buses!

No shortage of warning signs for drivers

I walk on the other side and it's too early to call in here;

Or wander off down a footpath to the fields.

I must not upset the Governor of the local prison by ignoring his instructions.

A different field opens up other opportunities if I needed a rest.

That sign points to where it's possible for youngsters to get some exercise.

However there is one sign that I take for granted as I pass it frequently.

The sign on our house

It's time I gave it some TLC and repainted it - if only I wasn't so tired from my four mile walk.

I hope you pay attention to the signs you see; check out those shared with us at Carmi's Thematic-photographic-350.

Let's Get Dirty - Thematic Photography

My first thoughts when I saw this week's theme were that I haven't any dirty photographs and that I would never take one. One second thoughts I decided that perhaps it was just my mind.

When it comes to dirt, you may be sure that dogs will never let you down.

Maxie sulks

Although she crossed the Rainbow Bridge some years ago, there was a time when Maxie liked nothing better than to run through a black and sticky swamp. If that could be combined with a roll in lots of deer poo she was in her seventh heaven. In the photo Maxie had just had a bath after just such an excursion. Still wet she sulked and found a patch of garden in which to lie and get dirty again.

Lily is the latest youngster to take up the dirty challenge,

There's a tennis ball in here ..... somewhere.

I knew I'd find it.

Don't I deserve a treat?

My daily routine includes a walk to the local garage to pick up a newspaper. In filthy weather as it is at the moment you come across some interesting things,

A slug drying off

However I'm not sure my next shot is really on the theme.

Beech stump with fungus

But surely this qualifies.

Muddy entrance

The local airport is still called Teesside Airport by the locals. But a few years ago they changed it name to Durham Tees Valley, despite the fact that Durham is nowhere near. This also meant that the airport name was then too large for the road signs, This is how a sign near my local garage has ended up.

A67 Road sign in want of a clean
