I will start this week’s challenge with same way as Tina did, explaining the the dictionary’s short and simple definition of the word ephemeral – “lasting for a very short time”
I am not going to explain these; as you look at this post, it will only be an ephemeral moment, fleeting and transitory, reminding us that sometimes the essence of experience lies in the briefest of encounters that may pass us by but leave a lasting impression.





This is my take on the theme. I hope you’ll join us with your own interpretations. Be sure to link them to Tina’s post and to use the Lens-Artists Tag to help us find you.
I want offer my heartfelt thanks to all of you who respondent to my last week’s Street Details challenge. It was fun to see what everyone game up with, some were supricing , one I would not have guessed 😀 that is the fun with these challenges. Finally I hope you’ll join us next week when John will lead us once again on his Journeys with Johnbo site. Until then as always keep smiling and stay positive

I never would have thought of an ice cream cone. It’s a perfect example.
Sandy, it came as a last minute thought, thanks 😊
How clever to take us through the seasons! A lovely collection.
Glad you think so 🌺🍂🌿☃️

No worries Pamela
Thanks Pamela, autumn is a great photo opportunity
Such a great opportunity!
Lovely shots, Ritva!
Thanks so much PR
A truly beautiful response Ritva – you have absolutely captured the spirit of the week’s word. I could not possibly choose a favorite as I loved them all, but I do agree with Sandy, the ice cream cone was a fun surprise.
Wonderful colours of nature. Great shots as usual, Ritva. But I have say that boy locking the ice cram cone is a favourite of mine.
Thanks so much Teresa 😀 , it was a last thought, a bit out of what my theme, within the these was , so i placed it as a header
Stunning photos Ritva!!

It’s Tina’s turn to host, last week was mine.
Once again, a great idea for a challenge! Here is our submission – https://joehahnenfeld.wordpress.com/2025/11/02/lens-artists-challenge-ephemeral/
Oops, my mistake. Should be to Tina.
Wow that tree scene. I have something similar, uploaded by Microsoft, on my Windows splash screen. Your other images aren’t half bad either 🙂
This lane is nearby and it is great to see every fall. Thanks Steve
Ritva, I love your take on the theme! The ice cream cone is a great example and all the other images are wonderful. I love the dandelion and the autumn pathway.
Thanks Beth, the ice cream was a last minute addition.
Sunsets and snow does it get any better, these are wonderful, as always, Ritva.
I love that autumn view of the country road. It reminds me of so many autumns – pleasant memories.
Thank you very much
Clever take on – and beautiful! Love the ice cream!
Thanks 😀
