This week's Photo Hunt theme is "words". I decided to post three pictures of words that made me smile during our last trip to Maine . . .
A sign on a pier in Portland:
Another sign, this time on Ilse Au Haut . . .
And finally, a man carrying a sign just before the Deer Isle 4th of July parade.
Any wonder why I love Maine so much?

Trying to figure out how the crabs and the Congregational Church go together in that last sign. Great sign photos and very "Maine-ish". :)

Fun post! Love the crab guy.

LOL at the first sign! Great collection, Jerry.

girasoli - crab sandwiches being sold as a church fund raising venture.
Annie - he was extremely popular as he walked along the parade route (and a very good sport).
We all laughed when we saw it too Maria.
