No time to scrap? Take some photos and share them in this thread.
And if that photo is of a SIGN, claim an additional point! This might be literally a sign: a street sign, a sign in a store, a political sign, something you see every day on your daily walk...
OR it might be a sign that the season is changing. Down under, are you seeing signs of spring? In the northern hemisphere, are the leaves changing colour? Are the birds gathering to fly south? Are fruits ripening on the trees? Snap a pic and share it with us.
OR it might be a sign of our times, as in the notices on shop doors to wear a mask, or take other precautions. It might be something you see on the internet or other media that you feel represents the times in which we find ourselves.
Take a photo. Take a screen shot. Share it here.
If you are a member of a team this month, then claim ONE point for every photo shared in this thread. ADD one point if it is a photo of something you feel is a sign of the times. If you use the photo on a project during the month of September, ADD another TWO POINTS.

It's the first day of spring here, yippee! I took the dog for a walk at lunchtime and took some photos of the signs that spring has arrived.  |

I have this sign on my deck and I want to do a scrapbook page about it. I printed this picture but I kind of want a photo with me standing next to it.  |

 One of my dd's part time jobs is a guide for a haunted walk tour. Her uniform is all black clothing a cape, a lantern, and of course as a sign of the times a mask. |

Back to school has changed. One dgs is doing his year on line. Who knew you could do your reading homework on Mom’s phone?  Here are two of the dgk’s all masked up and ready for their first day.  And here they are with their traditional signs:  |

Today is a particularly rainy day, so when I picked up DGD this morning I scurried to find her rain boots, rain coat and umbrella that I had bought in anticipation of a day just like this. She even liked stomping in the little puddle near my porch. Of course I got drenched getting these photos, haha!  |

AussieMeg, psiluvu, grammadee all of your mask photos are perfect to meet the Donna challenge this month as well. I think a mask is the most universal sign of the times right now!

That little puddle stomper is the sweetest thing EVER! TFS myboysnme! There is a sign in this photo my niece took of me and 3 wild grandsons on the golf cart last weekend.  |

And another mask photo my ddil posted on fb as a joke Hahaha that's cute!  I tried to do the same thing in the photo of me and my dog above, but I couldn't get the mask to stay on him. DD managed to get a photo of him wearing a mask, which I plan to scrap this month. |

I need to take a good look at what you've all been posting here, but I have to make dinner! So just a quick share - I made a page directly based on this challenge, literally photos of the signs of the times... ETA: oops, I think this was supposed to go in the Donna challenge, but anyway, it's here now!  Sept share by jo.blackford, on Flickr |

I took these photos on Monday when I took the dog for a walk during my lunch break. I had annual leave last week, and the weather was crappy all week. Then of course my first day back at work was absolutely glorious!  We're still in stage 4 lockdown, so it's probably not a bad thing that the weather was bad on my week off, because I couldn't go anywhere anyway! 
I included a photo of a sign, and also the ducklings that I took a photo of on the first day of spring - they have grown so much in the last 4 weeks. |

And the last lot of photos, which were taken on my birthday last week. I'm working on the layout at the moment, hoping to sneak one more in for the month. I learnt something interesting today, when I was uploading these photos into Photoshop..... one of the photos was of some gift cards and the cash that my dad gave me for my birthday. But Photoshop wouldn't let me open the photo of the cash. I got an error message that said: "This application does not support the editing of banknote images.
For more information, select the information button below for Internet-based information on restrictions for copying and distributing banknote images or go to www.rulesforuse.org." So I had to replace that photo with the one of just the gift card.  |

Here is a social distancing sign Canadians can identify with.  |
