If you've read some of my earlier posts, you will know that my husband and I have an unfortunate penchant for ignoring 'Keep Out' signs. For us, the lure of the unknown seems to undermine our normally law-abiding ways, that curiosity inexorably leading us into mischief.

But there are signs we would not dream of disregarding. We would never risk causing damage to ancient ruins that have stood for many years and deserve to be left for future generations to marvel at as we do.

Nor would we trample through environmentally fragile environments in which plants and birds are protected from the ravages of encroaching habitation.

Surely, we all wish only to be thoughtful stewards of this wonderfully diverse but fraught world.

And of course, it only makes sense to obey signs like the one at left, particularly if you haven't ever seen Poison Ivy up close and cannot readily identify it.

We did go through this trail in Colorado with a little more caution than we normally exercise.

There may be hope for us yet!

Nice photos. The signs are not overly demanding so I would obey. Unfortunately there are A-holes ready to destroy anything.
Nice collection of signs that should be obeyed! I think you got Andy a little riled up.
I always laugh when I think of you busting out of your law-abiding ways to go trespassing. You definitely don't look like a scofflaw. (There's an old word for you.)

Good for you! Glad to hear there are limits to your scofflawery (if that's a word).
Oh I love all these cool signs, showing there is concern for sensitive areas........good to know!
it pays to heed these signs. but there are people to don't respect anything, they'd do anything just for the fun.
Signs
An interesting collection of warning signs! Love the ruins in the first photo!
Nice collection of signs and photos.
that first sign looks a little less permanent than the others, but I really like its simplicity!
Yes...I'd certainly obey those signs!!
I agree, a "keep out" sign placed for the protection of the environment or others, I usually obey, one placed for my own protection I take under advisement.
I always have trouble disobeying signs...BUT there are some I can talk myself into ignoring. However, these signs are ones I would definitely obey as disobeying them might cause harm.
Great theme. The first looks a fascinating place. Signs that give reasons, and even one with a please, are easy to obey, especially the last, eek.
Yeah, every now and again we have to be grown ups and follow the signs... but it's still fun to break the rules on occasion ;o)
