Time

Today, the daily photo prompt over at Shutter Sisters is "time".  

So I started thinking about how to represent time in an image.  
There are clocks, hour glasses, calendars . . .

Round and round went my thoughts while I tackled an editing project.  The son of my very dear friend, Deb, was married last month.  I have a load of photos from the rehearsal dinner to sort through.

This is one of my favorites.  My husband took it the morning after the wedding.

Here we are, two women who met as young mothers, a long time ago.  Now our children are marrying and starting families of their own.  

A few days ago, as I sorted through 25+ years of neglected jewelry, it was as though I was holding my entire fashion history in a single box.  

I could remember when I bought that necklace, how this bracelet rarely left my arm.  I was reminded of special friends, how we dressed in those days and the fun we had.  And how I miss Susan, friend and fashion companion, who left this life five years ago.

Today I wear no earrings, fewer bracelets.  Still love a necklace, though.  

So many ways to measure time, to notice its flow.  Many events are universal, common to each of us.
But it is still ours alone, a unique experience.  


Do you remember when you lost your first tooth?  
I do.  
And so will she.


It's her turn.  It's her time.


There is an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth.
Ecclesiastes 3

  1. I love thoughtfulness. It gives me hope of not being insane alone. You have a subtleness to your shared thoughts and therefore a measure of profound that would fail if you tried to be profound.

  2. I love the subtleness of your thoughtfulness. It accomplishes profund without your attempt at profoundness. It reminds me of women without makeup. They seem embarrassed because they are unaware of their radiance. It is the eye of your heart that enhances the photography. I know, I know; I'll go back to my padded room now.

  4. I never connected jewelry and time before, but you're so right how it does show the years passing. I can't believe some of the earrings I used to wear! They were huge!
