Time is a circus, always packing up and moving away

Marie Claire Australia January 2013

When was the last time you went to the circus? I went to a Cirque du Soleil show about two years ago but that is a much more polished acrobatic drama rather than a circus. Bring on the elephants! Bring on the caramel popcorn! I barely remember attending the show at Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey (the greatest show on earth!) but do remember being very excited about watching the animals and flying feats before me.

Sometimes real life can be a bit of a circus as well. Unexpected events occur, families grow and contracts, and we reach milestones with a few new friends in tow. Then we stop and think, wow, time has really flown by (how is it already March?!) It does seem to be true that time seems to go by more quickly when we are older. While we can’t stop time from packing up and moving on, like the circus, we can still try to sit back and enjoy.

Have a lovely week!

These are beautiful!! And I agree, life is a circus…full of many things that come and go so fast. We really need to enjoy each moment and do the things we wish to do. I hope you have a marvellous week ahead doll xo

I want to see Cirque du Soleil again – I hear the Beatles and water themed Cirque shows are phenomenal!

I don’t think I’ve ever been to the circus, but Water for Elephants is one of my favorite books. Love these bright, fun photos and the clothes!

You are reminding me to read “Water for Elephants”! Ahh and yes the clothing in this shoot is fabulous!

I agree that life absolutely is a circus! Time is definitely going by faster now that I’m older.

I’ve never been to the circus, but if it involved that green dress from the first photo, I might be inclined to do so 🙂

Gorgeous pictures. Life certainly is a circus. Sometimes I wish it would slow down!

i am just SOOOOOOO against the circus – due to animal cruelty – i’m just not into it – *sorry*

Erika, you are right. if I knew about animal cruelty, I wouldn’t attend the circus either! Luckily these pictures are mostly about the people.
