i have questions
Couple of questions here:
- Why does that waterfowl need binoculars to look at the barricade that is RIGHT THERE?
- How TF is that same waterfowl holding the binoculars in the first damn place?

I mean, I guess this sign is official. But it sure feels like maybe a disgruntled worker who wanted the day off took a can of spray paint and made some business decisions…

oyster (with seagull)
Blue isn’t necessarily the strongest color in a scene (Hello, yellow-green), but the light-magic of fog gives blue a pretty good chance to dominate. And then there was that extremely well-timed seagull…
Fun Fact 1: in my senior year in architecture school, my design professor (Dan MacGilvary, who was outstanding) told us his most hated color was a specific shade of yellow-green that he called “snake-shit green.” He promised anyone who used that color in their renderings would fail his class.
Fun Fact 2: my sister and I called that same shade “spit-up green” and almost never used that particular Crayon.
Fun Fact 3: I don’t know how a post about this blue sign got hijacked by the color chartreuse.

I was in Portland, Maine, a couple of months ago – it was one of those places where I felt instantly at home and I am actively trying to figure out how soon I can get back up there.
The first day kicked off with the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Using our keen sleuthing skills* we were able to locate the spot where the bagpipers were assembling on our very first attempt. Yay, us!!
