Then some crap happened. What, you may ask?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My main walk around lens (17-40) is still shot. I can&#8217;t afford to have it fixed&#8230; yet. That greatly hampered things.

That&#8217;s made things quite awful as I&#8217;ve barely been near a computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, here I am now. A day late and trying to catch up to make this a wonderful experience, still. And it will be. Oh yes, it will be.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this month&#8217;s fantastic theme was signs. This could be interpreted in many ways, but as a fan of actual signs, I went forth with the plan where I&#8217;d be using those&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; and of course I can&#8217;t find a couple shots I took.<\/p>\n<p>No worries. On a weekend trip to Massachusetts for a geocaching event, I got some interesting signs. It seems, however, that I was mixing last month&#8217;s theme (bridges) with this month&#8217;s theme as I visited eight covered bridges on this trip and they often have some really interesting signs.<\/p>\n<p>So, without anymore blabbing&#8230; here&#8217;s my five for July.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Uneven Deck<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I loved this sign as I&#8217;d never seen it before. I had it without the bridge, but thought the bridge gave it a bit better context.
