I was following a dirt path through Golden Gate Park one morning when I happened to notice a small but brightly colored sign attached to a nearby tree. Being a compulsive reader with less-than-perfect eyesight, I stepped closer, and then a little bit closer, trying to make out what the sign said. Luckily, no one seemed to pay any notice to what I’m sure was a comical backwards leap — not even the bees.

Caution! Beware!

Yes, it’s a cute sign — but maybe they could have made it just a little larger than a Post-It Note??
