The Difference in Time

It occurs to me that nothing looks the same today as it did on days before. Every so often I go back through my collection of photographs and look for things that look different to me now than they did then. One year, 6 months, a couple of years is sometimes just what I need to see the creativity or beauty in something. I think I'm learning to take that approach to other things. Time can make things more attractive and it can also take the luster off.
