Time is of the Essence

 There is a time for everythingand a season for every activity under the heavens: Ecclesiastes  

In these days of Covid 19, it seems  even our sense of time has been impacted. Routines and schedules changed. Our plans disrupted. Can you relate to this?

Time is so important in so many ways. 

 There is a count down until the presidential election. New York is the center of New Year’s Eve celebration when the old calendar is retired. Expensive watches are beautiful gifts.

    My computer, and phone, in addition to all my clocks and watches report the hour of the day.

  There are so many phrases about time in our vocabulary. I listed some below, and I am sure some of you could add to it!



                       I love humor and puns. With that in mind, I ventured to   discover how many ways I could, photographically,  illlustrate   some of those phrases. I am posting 10 photos which are numbered. See if you can figure out the title of each.     The answers will be included below, but NO CHEATING.

               English is a peculiar language. We have butter that does not fly,(butterfly). There are at least 3 versions of two, too, to.  Our local newspaper listed the new words  added to our vocabulary due to the Coronovirus. Think of how computers have affected our word useage. 

          I could fill a couple pages of examples, but I think you get the picture!  I challenge you to think of other words like that with similar meaning, or that apply to a particular venue. Pictures or illustrations are optional.

          I hope you have as much fun with it as I did.
