Cute Signs

I see that it has been a week since I posted and just about as long since I read any posts. Oh well.

I was fiddling with this sign photo ↓ last night night. I took it last February but never posted it, either here or on Flickr. So what I did was to add one of my photos to it. The scene and the colours are from another of my photos to kind of pizazz up the original.


This ↑ came from the Country Depot shop up near Almonte. They always have an abundance of cute signs, and if I have my camera, I cannot usually resist snapping a few, and here are some ↓ from our last visit in the past week. These are just straight shots with no compositing.




Speaking of waking up to smell the coffee, I woke up too darn early this morning, like around 3:30. I finally gave up any attempt to get back to sleep around 5AM.

I've had one coffee already. Maybe with another, I can summon the energy to check out your blogs.

Love the words and I am usually up by 4:30. On the hands issue
they just ache - no clenching or curling :) thankful for that.
Have a good day in your part of our world...

I like the treatment on that sign and wonder if I should try something like that.

Fun signs. You just described my own night's sleep.. or lack thereof.

Yes I like the sentiments behind these signs but I think if I had one on my wall I would get tired of it very quickly. There's a shop here on Main St that sells similar stuff.... but I don't think I'll be spending any money there. Nice for photo taking! Now, where's that second cup of coffee.....?

Nice art work but I really detest these trite sayings.

Years ago in Quebec City I saw a neat sign that defined happiness as 3 things: someone to love, something to look forward to and????? I liked it so much. I was sure I would always remember the message. But I forgot the third thing rather quickly and have never remembered it!

Always liked signs similar to these, John, but the addition of the photo background really made them so much better.

Thanks for making me smile, AC.

good thing I haven't been at that store recently; could I resist?

Why can't I see you and Cuppa living out the marriage sign at all?
