I was musing yesterday on the things which seem more precious and beautiful precisely because they are so short-lived.

Mayflies
A single leaf slowly dancing to the ground
Sunsets
Cloud formations
Rainbows

Please add your own.

    Well, if we're doing gastronomic ephemerals I find a nice wine evaporates very quickly too :wink:

    Babies

    Laughter

    Shooting star

    Twinkly stars on a frosty night

    Sunshine

    Christmas
    Smile a while and while you smile
    smile another smile and soon there
    will be miles and miles of smiles
    just because you smiled I wish your
    day is full of Smiles

    :? Are you sure about that one, Marie? The commercial version seems to begin straight after Bonfire Night and continue relentlessly until the appearance of the first Cudbary's Cream Eggs.
