21 Photos That Show How Much Time Changes Things (New Pics)

Time seems to go too slow sometimes. But looking around, there are many objects that remind us that the passing of days is happening at a constant pace. We can measure it in the number of years it takes to file down the tines of a fork, or in the months it takes our pet to destroy his new favorite toy.

As proof that there is not one single way to measure time, here at Bright Side we collected 20 pictures that show there is never a pause in the calendar.
