“Hey little bird! Parking is allowed between the signs, not on top of the signs!”
This sign is obviously in a foreign language to the yellow-headed blackbird (or perhaps he’s just the parking enforcer to those who find this sign a foreign concept). I was trying to come up with a different take on the “foreign” theme this week.
Photo taken at the Bear River Bird Migratory Refuge in northern Utah, USA.
This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is to share a picture
that means foreign to you!
While foreign (rightly so) often brings up images of things outside of your own nation, it can also apply to things outside of or different from your normal environment, or even something which is out of place in general.

I love it!!!! It is great!!!! Good eye!!!
Thank you so much, ilargia!
Absolutely brilliant!
🙂
Thank you, Marina! If it weren’t for the birds and wildlife, I wouldn’t have photo opportunities like this. 🙂
Strange sign, but a lovely shot!
Thank you, ladyfi! Yes, it was at a bird refuge. I guess they need to regulate the parking, especially if it gets crowded.
Hilarious! I love it.
Thank you, Meanderer! I love opportunities like this!
Love this one!
Thank you, PJB!
Another awesome shot Fergie… love this one… and it made me laugh too. 😆
Thank you so much, Eliz! I’m so glad!
How did you do that animated smiley face in your comment?
Where did the bird park? In or out?
Wonderful.
Thank you, Gian Paolo! I believe there was another sign off to the right, so it looks like he was in
What a wonderful sense of humor!! 😀
Thank you, Amy! I believe the bird droppings on the sign indicates part of their disregard for the rules. 🙂

Amazing interpretation of “Foreign”.
Thank you, Ashwin!
I’ve never had the privilege of seeing a yellow-headed blackbird! Neat photo!
Thank you, Esther!
wow yours pic is amazing 😀 Love it all!
Thank you so much, sianakdesa!
The incongruence of this photo brings out the theme “foreign” beautifully! As always, much thought and care given to your work Fergiemoto! Sharon
Thank you very much, Sharon! I hoped this would work since I was looking for a different take on the theme.
I find most parking signs foreign! Very cute bird.
Thank you, TBM! Yes, I understand.
stunning example for the term LANGUAGE BARRIER!
Thank you, Frizz! Very kind of you!
very nice!
Thank you, Tania!
Haha, I love this shot. Does a great job illustrating how many arbitrary rules and signs we come up with that will seem totally foreign to an archaeologist digging up our cities in 500 years. If you get a chance, I’d love you to join in our weekly challenge too – the current them is escape! http://www.letsbewild.com/photo-challenge/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-3-escape/
Oh, I really like this…not only the great looking bird, but your sense of humor to stop and capture the ‘funny’ part of life [I had one photo long ago, of a sea gull leaving its ‘mark’ on a disabled parking sign]
Thank you, Anni! The seagull seemed to be explicit about its disregard for the rules! 🙂
Too funny!!!
Thank you, David! I found it amusing and just had to snap a photo!
I always enjoy when I get a new post from you, because they are so great to view. This one made me laugh. Good shot great humor. Thanks for all the likes on my blog.
That is so nice of you to say! Thank you very much, Jim!
Beautiful shot and a clever take 🙂
Thank you, Madhu! I like it when they display some humor. It makes for good photo opportunities!
That’s a cute little thing!! Nice post.
Thank you, Deborah!
Very apt image indeed.
Lovely image for this week’s challenge.
Thank you, Victoria! I found this quite amusing even if the bird didn’t have a clue he was being humorous.
I love how you represented ‘foreign’, Fergiemoto! What a precious photo and the haiku so perfectly says ‘rebellion’ to me. It reminds me of a postcard I have framed of a little kitten sitting in a dog dish with the caption ‘Rebellion is what you make it’
Thank you, Diane! The postcard sounds just adorable – yes, it is what you make it. I think there is some kind of rebel in all of us.

This gave me a brain exchange of sorts – a wonder :). Thank you for stopping by.
Thank you, Allyson!
love it! Lost in translation huh?!
Thank you, Marina! Yes! That seems to be an appropriate caption – “lost in translation”
Wonderful post.
Thank you, IT!
