'Tempus Fugit....' by ajisaac

'Tempus Fugit....'

Have been busy helping someone clear their rather overgrown garden so have had no time to explore my surroundings.

So here is my Ode to Today - 'Tempus Fugit'

Tempus fugit is a Latin phrase, usually translated into English as "time flies". The expression comes from line 284 of book 3 of Virgil's Georgics, where it appears as fugit inreparabile tempus: "it escapes, irretrievable time". The phrase is used in both its Latin and English forms as a proverb that "time's a-wasting".

Tempus fugit, however, is typically employed as an admonition against sloth and procrastination (cf. carpe diem) rather than a motto in favor of licentiousness (cf. "gather ye rosebuds while ye may"); the English form is often merely descriptive: "time flies like the wind", "time flies when you're having fun".
Beautiful composition and processing!

Great image, love the processing, and again the little history lesson. Time definitely does fly and especially so since I have begun this journey called 365.
