This is our day. I don't remember where I got this idea, but we cut it out, numbered it, printed and colored images that fit the activity, etc. Now Hali always knows what is next. If she argues with me- I refer her to the clock. Sometimes it even works. Nothing to fancy, very basic, but I wanted it to be something that Hali did a lot of herself.

My Moor Pool outing of April 2018 included a handy visit to Bearwood for a catch-up on the restoration progress at Lightwoods House. I also had a quick look around the bus station, noting the presence of this elegant blue and gold clock.
September 8, 2014 - The clock tower dates from 1350 -1353 and was used as a lookout tower. Conciergerie was a former prison located on the Île de la Cité. It was part of Palais de la Cité or the royal palace and it is now the Palais de Justice. Marie Antoinette was held here before being paraded around the city and taken to the guillotine. Paris, France.
A market stall selling clocks. And yes there is a person in there. The exposure isn't great because of some -very- brightly lit areas and some dark parts, so I'm a bit disappointed with the technical aspect of it. But I really wanted to capture the subject , so I guess it's ended up a bit of a compromise. Hope it doesn't look too bad.

Chronulator 2.0 clock. built inside a custom stained cigar box. the wires are from an old pinball machine. I had purchased the old score wheels off ebay and it came with a bunch of old, cloth insulated wires attached to it. so I striped a few off. gives it that nice old look. better than the look of the new red and black wires.
The Dandelion Clock
A children's amusement in which the number of puffs needed to blow the filamentous achenes from a dandelion is supposed to tell the time.

David Wright, an 8 year old school boy from Bath, yesterday failed to arrive back into his school class on time after lunch due to the failure of a dandelion clock to give him an accurate reading.
"I had a feeling that I'd been out on the playing field for about an hour so I blew on the seed head to find out the time." said a distraught David from the detention room. "It told me it was still one o'clock so I stayed out a while longer until another dandelion informed me that it was two o'clock, so I went back to class, only to find myself getting a stiff telling off for playing truant".
The Secretary of State for the Environment, has expressed deep concern about the case and is to launch a public enquiry iinto whether global warming is to blame for the strange behaviour of the nation's flora, and to what extent the damage extends. "I'm just hoping that dock leaves will still be an effective remedy for nettle stings, and that the petal plucking "she-loves-me-she-loves-me-not" test contunues to provide effective relationship advice to lovestruck swains".

The dandelion clock is a very strange clock.
It doesn't say tick, and it doesn't say tock.
It hasn't a cuckoo. It hasn't a chime.
I don't think it can really tell me the time

Be silent child
when you dream
your thoughts are sweet
like dandelions
they grow beyond
a hollow stalk
and burst into a flower.
What seems a weed
to a passersby
is really all you have
of hope
and when you blow
its pearl globe
you'll live inside
the wind..
