This week, John Steiner swings the door wide open for us to showcase signs and billboards we have noticed and photographed on our travels. In rural Pacific County, Washington USA, signs are often old, usually brief and always to the point!
On a path from the Discovery Trail toward the beach, someone has kept this collection of mileage signs fresh over the past six years that I’ve been here, and probably much longer!
On my less-travelled-roads journey through eastern Washington last summer, this old Richfield station sign harkened me back to my youth. “Richfield Oil Corporation was an American petroleum company based in California from 1905 to 1966. In 1966, it merged with Atlantic Refining Company to form the Atlantic Richfield Company (later renamed ARCO).” Wikipedia
Before highway billboards, building walls along busy roads were used to advertise products. This remnant from Spokane, WA is an example.
Conveniently perched on a branch in front of a stop sign, this Junco received my immediate attention!

Context is everything. Kids, as in goat “children”. >grin< My favorite. Nice collection of signage!
Great choices – kids for sale? I guess I understand.
An American idiom Kids (the proper term for baby goats) applied to children – which makes the sign funny and startling!
Lindy, I thought that my kids’ sign on my post was risky. Now I see yours and laughed out loud. I loved those signs in your post.
Thank you Egidio! I’m always happy when something I post prompts someone to laugh out loud!!!
Great signs. Of course, ‘Kids’ is a winnah’!
Thanks John! Got to find another as good for future use.
I’m with everyone else Lindy – kids for sale is PERFECT!
Thank you Tina!
Cool Clicks.
Kids for sale?
I had many smiles.
Oh, wonderful. When someone gets a smile from my posts it brings a smile to me!
Thank you for bringing that much-needed smile to my face. Namaste.
Many of us have been there……. 🙂
For sure!
The way you presented your Kids for sale was priceless… 🙂
I also love you Coca-Cola ghost sign and your mileages sign, very nice.
Thank you Sofia!
ha, to the point is right. I guess no sense in beating around the bush. Loved the rustic sign and Coca-Cola. And we could take lessons on life from that junco. Sometimes we all need to stop….. and watch the day go by.
So true! When I’m out at our beach condominium (right now!) I tend to watch the day open before me more often!
