    What sign?

    August 19, 2022

    The sign says “No Fishing”
    but…
    if you look around
    there are signs that people
    do not read signs.

    A Fart Sale

    March 1, 2022

    I met a friend for coffee this morning and could not pass up this sign as I walked in. So I wonder are they selling loud ones, silent ones, squeaky ones and of course the smelly ones? Maybe all the above. Kinda makes you wonder what yours are worth. Great way to advertise for a Fine Art sale. Have a super day!

    Enjoy the Little Things

    February 26, 2018

    It’s Monday morning and the beginning of a new week. So, what would the world be like if we lived what this sign says? Found it on the wall at The Little Bird Bakery in Old Town over the weekend.

    Sweet Sinsations

    December 18, 2017

    Sweet Sensations
    Sweet Sinsations

    There are four coffee shops, that I’m aware of, on the campus at Colorado State University. There are several off campus catering to the thousands of students pulling all-nighters. One I patronize is located in the Lory Student Center call Sweet Sinsations Cafe. Of course all you will find are students working the coffee shop and students grabbing a cup on their way to class. And it is cold this morning, 22 degrees right now.

    Two and Blue

    April 20, 2016

    Two Finch at Two
    Two Finch at Two

    I shot this a couple days ago primarily for the blue sky. I watched this male finch land on the sign and knew I wanted a photo. It was taken at stop Two of the CSU Transit Center. There are actually two finches in this image as the female is working on the nest between the 2 two signs. Whoa, to many twos.
