Donna has chosen Time as her theme.
Time can indeed be looked upon in many ways, here are some thoughts on time from greater minds than mine, to me time is so abstract and also so tangible.
So here are some thoughts on time and a photo to go along with it.
“Time and tide wait for no man.” – Geoffrey Chaucer
“Lost time is never found again.” – Benjamin Franklin
“Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to.’” – Lao Tzu
“Time is the wisest counselor of all.” – Pericles
“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” – William Penn
“The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.” – C.S. Lewis
“Time is a great healer, but a poor beautician.” – Lucille S. Harper
The outside beauty can fade and wrinkle but the inner beauty remains.
“Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.” – Theophrastus
“Time is what keeps everything from happening at once.” – Ray Cummings
From beginning to the end

Dear Ritva,
what an interesting interpretation of time with pictures. Actually, a picture is frozen time but your pictures inspire to imagine time running..
Especially we like this Ray Cummings quote, clever.
Wishing you an easy Sunday

thanks, time is on the move all the time 🙂
Your comment reminds me of Huxley’s last project. He wanted to write a novel ‘When Time has come to a Stop’. He just started and then his time came to a stop. He died.
Keep well

Very interesting selection of photos, Ritva. Time waits for no one!
True Aletta, it does not wait.
☺️
Interesting words about time and your images fit very well with them.
Thanks Ana!
I love the quotes you placed with your photos Ritva. I would have never known this was tough for you. Your thoughts/quotes…so profound. Lots of the photos spoke to me. The woman in the tide, the man alone, the pelican, and the runner. And as I lotion my face up every morning I relate to the Harper quote. Hopefully inner beauty remains. And with age there is wisdom. Thank you for joining Ritva. I loved it! All of it.
Donna, I hear you, the morning look in the mirror sure shows time having passed and left it’s mark.
Great examples of time, Ritva. The family portrait and the running lady captured my attention. But, your last image was a surprise for me. Nevertheless, well done.
I love the quote from Geoffrey Chaucer
Thanks, the last image was to state – time ends.
👍
Ritva, you paired these lovely photos beautifully with your interpretations and quotes.
Thanks Janet, this was a hard one 🙂
Your choice of quotes and images is quite impressive, Ritva.
Thanks Rupali, that you, happy to have impressed you 🙂
Your photo selections go perfectly with these quotes, Ritva! A great image of “you You cannot outrun”! time

Surprised to see the steam clock of Gastown, Vancouver. I love the image of the ladies. Young and younger version.
My sister resided in Fort Langley, so I have few times visited the area. My aunt in her twenties and nineties 😘 thanks
Next time you are in town, let’s have coffee. My treat.
That would be great, I will keep that in my mind 😊
Awesome
Thank you!
