Time flies or lingers

Isn't it funny how some hours, days or weeks seem to just fly by, while others seem to move very slowly? My work week seemed to go by very quickly but the weekend lingered nicely - and that's the way I like it.

Timepieces

My watch and my phone.

What I depend on for keeping me on time.

Timepieces…

I prefer analog watches and clocks but this how I have been checking the time lately…too much time to tell you the truth:)  I look at that corner and say to myself…how did another hour go by so quickly!  I need to get off this chair and get outside!

Picturing the Year…

my personal timepiece.....

she tells me when it's time to get up in the morning

and

when to turn the lights out at night

~

her internal clock always lets me know

when it's noon

since that's when her food dish needs to be filled

again

~

and

sometimes

she lets me know when it's time to go to the park

and

just sit

Timepiece

The infinity symbol in this photograph is a very unique "timepiece"...it's actually a sun dial...an analemmatic sundial. I won't get into a scientific explanation of how this works but you can read more about it here. And every sundial needs a gnomon...a triangular plate or pin to cast a shadow on the time and in this sundial YOU are that pin. The shadow is cast by the human body to measure the time.

(The clock is located on a beautiful sandy beach in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley.)

Timepieces

We all do it. We steal glances at clocks and watches and cell phones.

We search for them in public spaces, or ask strangers at bus stops.

Clocks that used to grace towers or buildings are sometimes silent and unmoving as the public came to have their own private timepieces.

Watches have become more and more like pieces of jewellery in this day of checking our phones for the time.

I love my collection of timepieces

with it's array of clock faces and digital numbers.

Some are silent, some tick resonantly. One chimes.

Some need to be plugged in, some need to be wound up.

All tell a story... once upon a time.
