WPC – Temporary

Posted on November 10, 2017 by Mama Cormier

….this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is temporary

Often photos of precious moments or beautiful sunsets, fall colours or fields of wildflowers are fleeting. Bonfires, midways, cloud formations, celebratory sweets and all living things are temporary.
