TimeSubmissions due Feb 28, 2019Not about clocks or watches but about things associated with Time.
We all have time related activities, coffee time, bed time, happy hour, in the blink of an eye etc.
To borrow from a well known song, how do you measure a year?:
In daylights, in sunsets
In midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles
In laughter, in strife
I would suggest that the title should really fit the photo and it is only limtited by your imagination, be creative and have fun with it. This theme will work well with so many types of photography, time to go!- New Theme OpensOpens Mar 1, 2019Details announced when theme opens
