A Strange No-Entry Sign















In this Street shot of London, I noticed something strange about one of the no entry signs.  I was intrigued, and did a little poking around.  Here's what I found: there is an artist named Clet Abraham.  He has done some work that has been called 'street art'.  I don't know if this is one of his signs, or just a stencil put on by a graffiti artist.  Here is one of his signs:
 

The link below will let you see more of his street art work.

You can't see me; I'm hiding.

I went to Boundary Bay on Monday to see the Snowy owls.  They were there in force.  The green marsh grass was punctuated at regular intervals with silver-grey driftwood logs adorned with brilliant white owls. I spent time looking, and not much time photographing, as we couldn't get very close for fear of disturbing them. 

A heron, on the other hand obligingly stood quite close to the golf-course fence.

We can't call it posing, as he seemed to believe that he was hidden by the grass.
