Zebra Crossing
I just want you to know that this afternoon when we were running an errand, I grabbed my camera as we were walking out the door and told Marc I needed to take a picture of a zebra crossing. Funny thing is, he kind of knows now when I take random pictures that it's for the blog. It's all for y'all, I want you to experience my world. :)
This is a Zebra Crossing. In the UK a "z" is pronounced like "zed" so if you can imagine saying the z not like we are use to saying it...this is confusing. It would not like sound like zebra, but "zehbra" if that makes ANY sense at all. You can see from the black/white stripes on the ground that this is where it got it's name. A "zehbra" crossing gives pedestrians the right of way, so all traffic must stop if one is crossing. It's always a good idea to look both ways before you step out into the zebra crossing because, well, it's just a good idea. Cars don't always see you and don't always stop. I think zebra crossings were made quite famous from the cover of Abbey Road the Beatles album, they were shown on the cover walking across one. That particular one is in London. On Abbey Road. Aren't you glad I cleared that up for you? :)

**Thanks Anna (see comments) for reminding me about all the other kinds of crossings! And I have not lost it! :) Life is just strange here sometimes! :)
