Are such signs common? They are uncommonly cute.

Make way for ducklings
- Michael Leddy
- “Orange Crate Art” is a song by Van Dyke Parks and the title of a 1995 album by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson. It is, to my mind, one of the great American songs: “Orange crate art was a place to start.” Comments are welcome, appended to posts or by

I have seen turtle crossing signs here in Ontario. No pix, sorry. But we have real ducklings and goslings in the park beside our house! (That's interesting - the spell check here doesn't recognize gosling as a plural.)
You might be amused by this unusual record of a summer vacation:

The page's author is a luminary in the computer science field. I love his explanation of why doesn't use email:
"Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things."

(Your post prompted me to recall and look up the above.)
Thanks for the links, Julia and Stephen. I esp. like the idea of "fluffy dinosaurs" and the photo of the Linux-users sign.
There's a sign like that in Grandview, Missouri, where Grandview Road and Martha Truman Road Cross :)
It’s nice to know that there’s more than one. Thanks, Rosalie.
