i love signs like this. there may be some scary argentinian snakes waiting to pounce on unsuspecting tourists, but the snake in this sign looks cute and cuddly. (click on the photo for a better view of the bugs and butterflies.)
!!!
happy friday!

Perhaps the sign is actually alerting the snakes to the presence of tasty humans?
such a fabulous sign! tom and i are always talking about how we love signs like these. t wants to make little short films animating the signs and their warnings. hee hee.
I want both of those signs. They are too fun! And the buggies attached.. Yes! How I long for droves of butterflies....I used to catch them ~ there were so man as a kid.. but now I see them less and less....My aunt used to yel at us for trying to catch them when we were little. The waterfalls below are amazing!
i *love* these signs!! signs are one of my favorite things to photograph... i have some bizarre and hilarious ones from india. the snake does look kind of cuddly :)
love the waterfall photos from the previous post too...

Not sure if I'm more scared of the snakes or of slippery steps...well! snakes would freak me out but I wouldn't like to have a sore bum or a broken coccyx like a friend of mine a couple of months ago.

So if you stay between the lines the snakes won't get you? Did someone tell the snake to stay on his side? The sign makes me laugh, it's so cute.
