Photo Blogging Challenge (July 2013): Signs

August 1, 2013

Yes, I give myself a fail.

Big time.

See, I was cruising along this month decently. Then some crap happened. What, you may ask?

  • My main walk around lens (17-40) is still shot. I can’t afford to have it fixed… yet. That greatly hampered things. Still, I have an iPhone and a point and shoot and other lenses…
  • The last week or so, I’ve been sick as can be. That’s made things quite awful as I’ve barely been near a computer.

So, here I am now. A day late and trying to catch up to make this a wonderful experience, still. And it will be. Oh yes, it will be.

Anyway, this month’s fantastic theme was signs. This could be interpreted in many ways, but as a fan of actual signs, I went forth with the plan where I’d be using those…

… and of course I can’t find a couple shots I took.

No worries. On a weekend trip to Massachusetts for a geocaching event, I got some interesting signs. It seems, however, that I was mixing last month’s theme (bridges) with this month’s theme as I visited eight covered bridges on this trip and they often have some really interesting signs.

So, without anymore blabbing… here’s my five for July.

1. Uneven Deck

I loved this sign as I’d never seen it before. I had it without the bridge, but thought the bridge gave it a bit better context. In Vermont.

Uneven deck.

2. Notice

The funny part about this sign is, of the four New York covered bridges we saw that day, three of them had people jumping off them. Look for a future blog post covering this.

Notice

3. Parking area

This sign is at a local pulloff parking area. I love the age and weathered look.

Parking rules.

4. Welcome!

On our way to the big geocaching event… this is Tavis as we found a cache entering Vermont.

Green Mountain State!

5. Anglers

You can park here… but where to fish?

Park here.

And that’s my five for the month of July. I hope you enjoyed the series.

If you took part this month, make sure you link up below. And for those who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment and visit so we can continue to grow this challenge.

Don’t forget, too, to come back Friday and see the theme for August!

NOTE: I also set up a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

    Glad you’re feeling better. I love that old sign. Looks like it has a bullet hole in it 😉

    I didn’t do much travel this month, so I had to go a different route with the prompt. Love the covered bridge and that old, faded sign! Hope you’re still feeling well. I think summer colds may be worse than winter ones.

    That old faded sign is brilliant, it looks like it’s bleeding. 🙂 You got some great photos of signs here, PJ, you make me wish I’d taken the time to actually go out and find some interesting signs.

    Good to see you’re on the mend. That one weathered sign looks like it would have been difficult to read even when it was brand new.

    Nicely done, P.J., that gunshot looking sign is awesome. Reminding me that I’ve got to get back to Vermont for some hiking this year.

How could we skip this? North of the border this How could we skip this? 

North of the border this weekend to get away and hit a few caching events and geocache. Dinner tonight was at @harpersburgers, especially with outdoor seating and dog friendly! @harper_dublin got to enjoy a little of my #burger, of course. And, yes, I got poutine, duh! Great service and great food! Went back later for a spiked shake. This one was a Malibu Colada (malibu rum, dark rum, vanilla ice cream, and pineapple juice) … yum! 

Good times! Looking forward to another event and caches on Saturday before heading home!

I think Harper approves. 

One more step and we'll be set to really enjoy it back there with some shade!

Working on a few other landscaping things, too.

As a @sunydelhi alum, and local, I still love walk As a @sunydelhi alum, and local, I still love walking around the campus. It’s especially nice in the morning when college isn’t in session as it’s quiet and @harper_dublin can sniff and explore her surroundings (if in session, she will want to stop and meet every student etc.). I know a lot of people local walk the campus, and it’s really nice that we have something like this in our community to be able to do so.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
