For the Numbers contest. This whimsical sign caught my attention on a visit to Dauphin Island in October '08. I always meant to get back at a better time of day. When I first read Pat's contest idea this song came to mind, but I never found the right image to go with the theme. : )

Wow, what a powerful and evocative song. And at the end you realize that no matter how bad it gets, one candle is enough, if nurtured. As two people are enough here.
This photo is a bright and beautiful illustration of a slower, quieter, less troubled time. And two people are here. But more will come. Love this pic!

This is a lovely shot of this home. I don't know about the contest, but I would think this would be good in any contest.
Good Luck.

Two trees, two railing, two people too good Elizabeth. This should do well in the contest. Loved the song.

If God is in the numbers, the number is two. For there are 2 rocking chairs and 2 flower pots on the porch, 2 main trees in the foreground, 2 glass frogs on the steps, 2 hanging baskets on the gazebo. There are 2 houses in the picture. You would be welcomed to come as a couple. You can come too early and stay too late.

Elizabeth, Howard Island, population 2. A beautiful picture, too!

Best wishes in the contest. I hope you do very well!

This is really cute and well captured to boot. It took a while for me to connect with the song, but it was compelling me to listen to the end. Thanks, Elizabeth.
