Why we need signs …


Signs are everywhere! There are safety signs, directional signs, instructional signs and ‘OMG you can’t be serious’ signs.  But although we see several signs every single day, I believe we take them mostly for granted … until you are asked to think about them via a WordPress Photo Challenge 🙂

But imagine if we had no signs at all … how would we know were to go or what’s up ahead or when it’s not safe to do something?  Yikes!  Well here’s a look at a few of the signs I’ve seen this year and if you have any you’d like to share, please leave a link to your blog/website in the comments box.  In the meantime, Happy ‘signing’!

 And my absolute favorite photo of all time – a super fabulous double rainbow – which shows a sign from nature, of God’s amazing awesome love – no words or letters needed!

This post is the submission for the WordPress Photo Challenge: Signs – For this challenge, share an image of a sign: it can be a sign near your home — a comforting sight after a long journey — a sign that doubles as art, or other types of signs that hold meaning for you.

    1. It was one of the few times I had seen a double rainbow that allowed me time to get out my camera and take the shot! And we all find ‘Do not’ signs to be very very tempting … LOL. Thanks for stopping by, and hope to see you again soon 🙂

  4. Hi Gale! I would be the first person completely lost in a world without signs. You’re right we definitely need them. I love the sign above the bed. That song automatically puts a smile on my face and relaxes me. LOVE Bob Marley! I also like the double rainbow. Wow! They named a street after you! 😉
