The Days Are Too Short….

The days are so short, seasons pass too quickly, and children grow up too fast. I wish I could stop time and enjoy these moments forever.




  • Love the photo! And, I wish that I can go back in time as time sure does pass by so fast.

  • I hear you. I feel the same way. Beautiful photo!

  • Pretty and I agree, the days are too short.

  • If only we had a time machine…

  • Megan @ That Neat Blog

    Amen to that!

    Whomever coined the phrase that with kids the days are long, but the years are short hit it right on the head! I think it may have been Erma Bombeck. My kids are now 15 and 11, so I’m really feeling that these days! Slow it down someone!

  • What a lovely photo – and I completely agree…time is passing too quickly!

  • I’m looking forward to the longer days.

  • Great picture.

  • So do I. I wake up some days and can’t believe I have four children and that they are all quickly approaching their teenage years!

    What a beautiful photo. I love the contrast between the sharp images on the left side and the blurry images on the right. This is really a beautifully composed photograph. I’d hang it in my house!

  • Beautiful picture and beautiful sentiment.

  • Penelope

    You made my day 😉

  • Beautiful shot.

  • This is very true!

  • I always wish that the days would go by slower too.

  • Billie

    That’s a great picture, the colors are vivid.

  • Beautiful capture!

  • Awesome pic. What lens are you using?

  • Mellisa

    Beautiful Penelope!! You are very talented with your photograpy.

  • Penelope

    The 50 1.8 most of the time (I think I only used the kit lens the first month or two I had the camera)

  • Agreed and gorgeous photo!

  • This is all so true 🙁 It all passes way too quickly. When you figure out a way to stop it from happening please let me know

  • Gorgeous picture!

  • I concur . I always wanted to say that 🙂

  • I’ve actually been thinking about this all day today- it’s an ongoing theme for me but today in particular I’m noticing how fast everything is going.

  • I know and it’s too dark!!!! Hate winter!

  • isn’t that the truth? Great photo Penelope!

  • Love this picture!

  • Jenn

    Beautiful picture. And truer words were never spoken.

  • Donna

    This is why I try to live in the moment (which frankly isn’t easy for me, because I’m a planner). I know how fast time goes by and I want to appreciate every single second of it. So even though I can’t wait for Spring… I am loving each day, even if it isn’t as long.

  • Agree so very much!

  • Maryann

    Life often moves too fast, but sometimes I feel it goes too slow. I guess it all balances out in the end.

  • Love the photo. And I agree. Days are too short and the time goes by too quickly.

  • So true and that is a beautiful photos.

  • That’s how I feel. I love this shot and the focal point!

  • Leilani

    I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I wish I could freeze time.

  • This is such a beautiful shot!
