For her Thursday special the week, Paula is trying something different, a list of five words to choose from to base a photo on. I’ve chosen transience. To be honest, I might be back again, because I like most of the words.
I spotted this on the beach yesterday.
We are just a blink of the eye.

But I bet you don’t like “decrepit” 😀 Nobody has chosen that one. “We miss you James” ? It looks as if someone has lost his life at sea? Traces in the sand – transient as life itself. Great choice, Gilly. Thank you.
A perfect image of transience, Gilly, expressing the sadness that belongs to the passing of things and especially people. The fact that you saw this expresses the nature of photography. You only get one chance to take a particular photograph and then the whole scene is different.
A very clever interpretation. Quite sad and makes me wonder at the story behind this transient message in the sand. I am tempted to come back for a second or third “go” at this weeks theme too…
Clever, Gilly. Not only is life transient but also this message in the sand.
Here today; maybe not tomorrow. This is sad, but perfect for your choice of word for the challenge. ❤ ❤
This is about as perfect as one can get at matching a theme.
That is a special one. Nice in B&W.
Oh no! That’s a heart wrencher! I hope he comes home soon. 🙂
It’s a great theme but maybe too many choices? You’ll be back!
A great interpretation of transience. It makes the viewe to wonder what’s behind the phrase “We miss you James”. Heartfelt image.

Awwww … I hope James just couldn’t join them on their beach outing.
Love beach writing messages. 😎
This remind me…. better make some “I miss you” messages on emails or snail mails now than later on the sand. 😉
Such a sad message, Gilly. Yes, we are just a blink of the eye in this vast universe, and yet each one of us matters to someone.
