Time Keeps Ticking...
56Beginning of Time
Since the beginning of time, man figured out how to calculate time somehow by the sun and moon. Don't ask me how...I have to look at my watch or cell phone, including a clock on the wall to figure out what time it is! Amazing isn't it? It has something to do with science and math combined? Not sure...just guessing, but something like that...right? Maybe some of you out there know the answer?
It seems as we get older we realize how fast time does actually fly. Think back to the time you were born and then where you might be now...whatever age you are. See, there is such a thing as time travel...isn't there? I know...its a play on words!
I love clocks! From the sundials; which totally fascinate me, to the big Granddaddy's. Oh my goodness, there is a lot of clocks and styles out there! I know if you own a Swiss clock, it is suppose to be the best precision instrument...clock, ever made.
I have included a few of the clock varieties out there in a photo album of sorts below. There is no way I could include all of the clocks! To many to even count! From cute, to ordinary...like the school clock, alarm clocks, big clocks down to the very small. Some chime, play music box themes or have the sound of bells. Even tell us we are coo coo? Like I said...so many! I think the ticking of a clock is so relaxing. It helps you fall to sleep, or if stressed...can sound louder and louder till you almost want to scream, but in a normal case scenario...its comforting. They even use clocks to help baby animals who have lost their Momma's, or taken from them to relax. If you enjoy clocks and their intricacies, you should enjoy the photos.
Many hands to tell time

I hate slavery to time, as sometimes it sure is hard to stretch everything all into one day, isn't it? Thanks for taking time to drop in though, Feline Prophet. :)

There are some beautiful time pieces here but I do wish we weren't such slaves to time...
