signs

I've come across in my travels...
Lots of bears--both black and grizzly--roam the Canadian wilderness in Jasper and Banff National Parks.  This sign is on a large trash bin.


sign in Castries Market in the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.  I wrote about this market HERE. Of note is that this market made National Geographic's "World's Best Top Ten Food Markets" list at #3!


more Castries Market


This bear sign is in Glacier National Park in the US.  I saw 13 bears on my last trip here, some of them fairly close.


 
I'm including this just because I like the photo and this path.  This walking/bike trail is 75 miles long and goes through 5 counties and 11 cities/towns.  There are a number of connector trails and more are planned.  It's not far away from where I live.The slippery bridges have now been paved over and so are much safer.

    I enjoyed this post. I like bears. But I wouldn't like to meet one face to face.

    Bears.... Bears in multiples....ummmm....no...no..not going to go there.
    Loved the bear proof sign. Saw a video on youtube of a bear that dines every night at a German restaurant...he pulls the bins out into the street...dumpster dives in each one and then goes on his way. Too wonderful!! Love the sign for no parking too! Great S post!!!

    Great signs! The one about the grisly vs black bear prints is pretty useful - I learned something from your photo!

    Fun idea for the letter S! The bear signs are both great. The first one especially amused me.

    Fun to see the signs from various places! And hopefully the no spitting and no peeing ones are followed!


    Blessings & Aloha!

    I love different signs. Native Caribbeans say it like it is.

    I met a bear once that came within 10 feet of me. Thankfully, it wasn't too hungry. Once was enough for my lifetime! The 75 mile trail looks enchanting.

    hahaha ! I could use the first one but not for bears but for dogs ! Fortunately I have never seen people spitting here. Do not piss is a sign for some cats ! (not mine of course, they are well educated)

    LOL! I like the 'no spitting' sign! I wish they placed more of them for people to see. And when I say 'people', I mostly mean men... :( blah!!

    They sure have some silly signs posted... That one of the path is super cool - it reminds me of the saying, "Every journey starts with a single step."

    Spectacular post for the letter "S"!

    You always find something special for your posts - splendid job!

    A+
