my husband took that with my second camera when I was shooting an engagement session in newport RI. what a special surprise THAT was to find on my camera later!!! hahaha
The sign on the tree says it is no dog's. No dog owns this tree
The quotes mean either that either a specific dog DOES own it or they are quoting the guy who maintains the park
Or it may be short for 'no dog is'. Someone is being poetic and saying that no dog is a tree. In other words a dog needs more than water and sunshine, unlike a tree
I think that I shall never see A poem as lovely as a tree And never shall I gaze a log Who fetches as well as a dog
I prefer to interpret the sign to mean "there is no dog that owns this tree," i.e. if anyone or anything owns the tree, he/she/it is not a dog at all (or the tree is not owned by anyone, even a dog).
Perhaps "No Dog's" = Dogs own you. Yes, it's true. Not you, or any tree, owns dogs. Who picks up the poop? Don't even look at this tree. You just stepped in poop.
Is this the same as "No Man's Land". Does a particular dog actually own the tree or do "all" dogs own the tree or do "no" dogs own the tree. I'm so confused...
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

No dog's what? No dog's breakfast?
I see there's a special bonus unnecessary apostrophe today. Excellent.
Obviously the tree is "not owned by any dog." Meaning there is a dog that owns it.

Words cannot explain how much I hate improperly pluralized words.
hey, i'm from there. where in newport?
Kellie: yes. WTF are the words possessing, might I ask?
the S looks like it is upside down. and is this really the best way to display the sign?
And I thought I would be the first to comment on the vile, random apostrophe. I should have known!
Oh, man! I want that sign!
Break it down

Great blog!

Dogs own you. Yes, it's true.
Not you, or any tree, owns dogs.

Don't even look at this tree.
You just stepped in poop.
It's a stretch.
