Weekly Photo Challenge “Hands of Time”
The Weekly Photo Challenge
The subject comes fromThatOneBlondeChick
… Hands of Time …
Some of the most beautifully done photos I have seen of the aged were done by Photo Pete on his blog a long time ago. I have very few photos of humans, most of my photography comes from nature. When I think of the hands of time, I think of seniors and the more senior I become, the better I understand that phrase.
My aunt passed away and was buried on January 23. She was a giving person her whole life. I took some photos of her about 2 years ago and will put one here. I’m not sure what she would think of being on the Internet. She looks very much like her mom, my grandmother, who was 90 when she spread her wings.
To be totally honest, I can’t believe Aunty was almost 90. During our visits I never felt she was even into her 70ties. She was working only a couple of years ago, into her 80ties but fell while on a trip out West and things went downhill from there. I never heard her complain, ever. She was amazing and I realize it when I dwell on the person I knew.
A portion of her casket spray. My favorite, a mixed floral. I took a lot of photos and felt they did her justice. They portrayed Aunties inner beauty thru and thru.
Snow is predicted in Cincy. I’m not sure if it will happen or not but if it does I need to look for some new and exciting shots.
Have a great week and keep on taking those photos.

The drawing thingy was fun. Your Aunty sounds like she was a wonderful person.
The wisdom of age, lovely.
A fitting photo for this week’s challenge. Thank you for sharing about your aunt.
If I interpret this correctly, “Hands of Time” refers to how things have changed over time. Is that right?
A beautiful tribute to your Aunt. Don’t forget her. Be sure, when she enters your mind to send her your love. Souls need that in the beyond, to get close to their creator.
Thanks for visiting again.

she is lovely- seems she was fortunate to have such a long life- we all need to get to know our own hands of time. I thank you for the reminder.
