Each one of us is engaged in a battle against time, and slowly losing.
This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
–J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Few things aggravate me more than visiting a web site only to be greeted by a bunch of “broken image” icons. Argh!
If this looks a little rushed, it’s because the date and time in the illustration are about when I started working on this. It’s been a busy week.

For this challenge, I thought about several subjects (flowers, for example) but none really struck me. I went through my photo archive and came across this picture of my nephew taken when he was three weeks old. What’s more delicate than a life barely begun?
