how very true, Sandra. instead of 'Clocks' 'people' also makes a nice reading. Congrats on fine win. Mohan

Yes, Mohan...people/clocks - kind of together as one! Seems we are always watching that clock and times goes by too fast. Thank you for stopping by with your nice comment and congrats. Sandra

No, that's for sure...but sometimes wish it wouldn't go so fast! Our clocks do capture one second at a time and that's all. That visual intrigues me! Thanks for stopping by. Hugs, Sandra
