The March

Some signs (and an inspiring book) at the
Women's March in New York this past
Saturday.  So uplifting, so much fun, SO many
wonderful people (about a half million)!

"Madame dreams.  Monsieur snores."
A little sign seen in Paris—another
piece of clever street art from Miss•Tic.

Live and learn

Thanks for the warning . . . and how did
I not know this? (Oh well, city girl)

New year = new the same resolve.
Can't decide whether to put
this pic on the fridge or just hang
it around my neck.

Le Train Bleu

This Gare de Lyon restaurant gets my vote for 
"most elegant place to get a meal—or just a drink—
in a train station."  It's been here since 1901
but was renamed in 1963, for the overnight express 
train (with the dark blue sleeping cars) 
that carried the rich and famous from Calais 
down to the French Riviera.

Thursday Challenge—"sign"

I've borrowed this photo from my daughter Katie,
who took it when she was in Alaska—and
must sheepishly admit that its meaning was
not instantly apparent to me.  (My initial thought:
 Why would anyone park their car under
a coal chute in the first place?)

Logical Progression??

I was out on the North Fork of Long Island
last weekend and passed this set of signs.  Had
to wonder what those two restaurants think
about being there with the next item on the list.

Thursday Challenge—"signs"

I took a picture of this sign in its original location
back in October or November 2001 and used it in the
second post of this blog, in 2008.  Shortly after I took that
picture, I happened to be on the promenade as city
workers were replacing the original wooden signs with
plastic ones.  I talked (flirted, cajoled) one of them into giving me 
that very sign and it's been hanging in my house ever since.

Thursday Challenge—"signs"

I had a hard time choosing a shot for this
challenge.  I pondered big Times Square signs,
friendly Ecuadorian signs in Spanish and English,
traffic signs, and Paris Metro signs.  In the end, I chose
this one—a little reminder that when you get back to this
dock after your day on the fishing boat and you use the
dockside tables to clean your catch, you should put
your fish guts where they belong!  My dad taught me
this lesson (and how to clean a fish) when I was 8 years old.

Mellow Yellow Monday

They're renovating the Brooklyn Bridge,
and the blank temporary walls that are up right
now are just too big a temptation for lots of
folks (and some apparently don't care if no
one likes them).  I have to admit that most of
the signs I see are at least interesting, some
have pretty good graphics (like this),
and some of them are even funny.
