AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Great shot of blue signs!
"Rosebud" is an interesting name for a beach. A blue rosebud perhaps?
Had doors closed yesterday from the heat, have closed this morning from the cold...such is the coming of Autumn in the USofA.
My days will be quite full now with the coming of the 'shed stork'...can't wait to get started playing...your restless waters are a welcome sight to my restless soul...that's what it looks like in my brain!!!
See ya soon sista...hugs!!!

Looks like the sign was much bluer than the sky that day. :)
I like that the sign has simple lines and isn't as large and ornate and distracting as so many are.
New management new color and I hope business will boom! Happy Wednesday!
Watery Wednesday
what was the movie where the sled was 'Rosebud'?
I can't believe I can't remember
It's a classic and the first thing I thought when I saw the sign
Cool photo...signs seem to be everywhere these days.
Great choice! Is Safeway a grocery store? I used to shop at one when I lived in California!
I would look twice at that blue sign! Most I see are red and yellow . So you have Safeway supermarkets? We have them on the West Coast of this country and I miss them now here in the Eastern part there aren't any.
I hope they're up to the challenge of managing!
