In Arizona, the words "purple mountains' majesty" are not just a phrase in the lovely song 'America the Beautiful'; one can see that majesty almost any day of the week just by looking around (but leaving the city limits might be required).
This image brings to mind that old Johnny Cash song 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'. Here's a link to it, in all its mournful glory, lol: youtu.be/Dmhr5bxKzmo

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️❤️
"Thoughts"
I found a thought in my brain
Something I haven't seen in here for days
I asked before it escaped
"What brought you here to this desolate place?"
Using blood for ink, I watch my stories fade
Writing poetry with thoughts that I erased
Every phrase that never saw the light of day
Will become the only words I ever say
And I hope that somehow
My soul will calm down
As I learn to pronounce
The language I betrayed
As I sweat from my brow
And decipher these vowels
May I comprehend doubt
With thoughts that never stayed
I felt my conscience awake
It seemed to scare all my ideas away
I asked if it would behave
I wish I knew how to make it obey
Using ink for blood, I write until I'm drained
Leaving memories I hate upon the page
I don't think I'll ever see the light of day
If I leave a piece of me to pave the way
And I hope that somehow
My soul will calm down
As I learn to pronounce
The language I betrayed
As I sweat from my brow
And decipher these vowels
May I comprehend doubt
With thoughts that never stayed
And though they'd never stay
I will find a place
To sit and contemplate
Until I awaken all that I am, now
And I hope that somehow
My soul will calm down
As I learn to pronounce
The language I betrayed
As I sweat from my brow
And decipher these vowels
May I comprehend doubt
With thoughts that never stayed
I found a thought in my brain
Something I haven't seen in here for days
I watched it walk through my veins
Out through my fingertips, into the page

Battle flags hanging in Worcester Cathedral. The phrase 'laid up' means when a battle flag has served its purpose and is 'put to rest', see link for a more 'in depth' explanation. Handheld, Hisy remote, Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle) gently tickled in Snapseed on iPad Pro.
More info.:-
I like to isolate myself from the world from time to time, I like to listen to my thoughts and repeat that phrase that we sometimes say "I'm fine".
I like to lose myself in the silence or in the music and redecorate those empty spaces when my desire and my dreams lose intensity.
When doubts corner me, I go to that place to remind myself that I can and always will.

Song Thrush - Turdus Philomelos
Featured on BBC Springwatch Social Media sites Dec 29 2019
The song thrush (Turdus philomelos) is a thrush that breeds across much of Eurasia. It has brown upperparts and black-spotted cream or buff underparts and has three recognised subspecies. Its distinctive song, which has repeated musical phrases, has frequently been referred to in poetry.
The song thrush breeds in forests, gardens and parks, and is partially migratory with many birds wintering in southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East; it has also been introduced into New Zealand and Australia. Although it is not threatened globally, there have been serious population declines in parts of Europe, possibly due to changes in farming practices.
The song thrush builds a neat mud-lined cup nest in a bush or tree and lays four to five dark-spotted blue eggs. It is omnivorous and has the habit of using a favourite stone as an "anvil" on which to break open the shells of snails. Like other perching birds (passerines), it is affected by external and internal parasites and is vulnerable to predation by cats and birds of prey.
The song thrush has an extensive range, estimated at 10 million square kilometres (3.8 million square miles), and a large population, with an estimated 40 to 71 million individuals in Europe alone.
In the western Palaearctic, there is evidence of population decline, but at a level below the threshold required for global conservation concern (i.e., a reduction in numbers of more than 30% in ten years or three generations) and the IUCN Red List categorises this species as of "Least Concern". In Great Britain and the Netherlands, there has been a more than 50% decline in population, and the song thrush is included in regional Red Lists. The decreases are greatest in farmlands (73% since the mid-1970s) and believed to be due to changes in agricultural practices in recent decades.
The precise reasons for the decline are not known but may be related to the loss of hedgerows, a move to sowing crops in autumn rather than spring, and possibly the increased use of pesticides. These changes may have reduced the availability of food and of nest sites. In gardens, the use of poison bait to control slugs and snails may pose a threat. In urban areas, some thrushes are killed while using the hard surface of roads to smash snails.
Many Poets and Writers have referenced the Song Thrush, here is one example:
In The Tables Turned, Romantic poet William Wordsworth references the song thrush, writing
Hark, how blithe the throstle sings
And he is no mean preacher
Come forth into the light of things
Let Nature be your teacher
The song thrush is the emblem of West Bromwich Albion Football Club, chosen because the public house in which the team used to change kept a pet thrush in a cage. It also gave rise to Albion's early nickname, The Throstles.

I can confidently cast a clout or two now!
For those with an interest in our sayings:
A phrase my Mom used to use when I was impatient.
Means a long while, The phrase itself is a farming phrase. You put cows out to pasture in the morning after they've been milked, and they come "back home" to the barn in the late evening to be milked again. So "until the cows come home" really just means "all day".

Religious inscriptions cover the reddish walls of an abandoned building, reminiscent of Salvatore in "The Name of Rose" who welcomed the visitors of the monastery with the cry "Penitenziagite!"! Salvatore, ex-Dolciniano, speaks a mixed language of Latin and vulgar. His cry refers to the internal struggles of the medieval church, between the Catholic bishops and the spiritual movement, carried out by the followers of Fra 'Dolcino da Novara. The word "Penitenziagite" is a contraction of the Latin phrase "Paenitentiam agite" ("do Penance"), a phrase with which the Dolcinians admonished the people as they passed.
Plain, brownish songbird of reedbeds, dense vegetation, and long grass near wetlands. Plain brown above, and pale below, with long, slender bill, flat crown, long tail, and rather long legs. Little and Tawny grassbirds in similar habitats have streaked plumage, shorter bills. Song harsh and loud, with combinations of staccato "chucks" and rolling phrases, very distinctive. Inhabits freshwater wetlands in eastern half of Australia, mostly coastal wetlands of western Australia. (eBird)
In its western range the Australian reed warbler is also known as "Koordjikotji" pronounced core’chee’caw’chee in the Perth area and surrounds in local Aboriginal language. (Wikipedia)

One of those impossible to see/identify warblers. This one popped up for a moment, flitted around and disappeared straight back into the reeds. Here for record purposes only.

Dos sendas de luz reposan en el agua. Frágil frontera de sombras y reflejos, que juegan con frases al aire . Frases etéreas ,que al decirlas ya son pasado…Instantes que Eolo lleva…F.O.G.
English :
Two paths of light rest in the water. Fragile border of shadows and reflections, which play with phrases in the air. Ethereal phrases, which in saying them are already past ... Moments that Eolo takes ... F.O.G.
A phrase often used to describe returning to a previously familiar place (for me that would be Coventry, then North Bedfordshire and currently Northumberland), one theory states that the phrase has its roots in animal behaviour.
This Chillingham wild bull was literally in his stamping ground according to our ranger guide, and we had to make way for him. Apparently he often used it to posture in sight of the rest of the herd (they weren't taking a blind bit of notice as can be seen in the previous upload). And once he had shown us humans who was boss, he returned down the hill to resume his grazing.
As a random aside, The Stamping Ground is a single and an album from my (probably!) all-time favourite band - Runrig.

The phrase cupboard love is a British idiom originating in the mid 1700s and used most commonly in the United Kingdom and Australia. It describes the selfish, greedy or insincere affection shown, usually, by children or animals towards someone who they think will give them something that they want. Pets are most frequently described as demonstrating cupboard love when they want food.

"The literal meaning of this phrase is “let us try one more time,” or “try again.” King Henry speaks this phrase to encourage his soldiers, who are launching an attack on through a gap or breach in the walls of Harfleur.'
This was how I felt when it came to achieving this image. Each time I went, the conditions were only adequate and therefore, so too was the result. On this stormy day, I thought the clouds might part and let the sunshine through, but after hours waiting, it was not to be. So, admittedly I packed up to move on.
However, when I saw a different opportunity it was because the light was shining through and maybe it would pass over my spot. I ran as best I could which was not very well. The camera was still on the settings needed and my tripod marks revealed where I had been. Sure enough, the light came and changed everything giving the final image life. I almost titled this shot "Paid For", because as I was waiting, I was either bitten or stung by some rather large flyer on the arm. The things we do to get the shot. Yikes!
He conocido a alguien, soy yo.
Voy a darme una oportunidad.

Sevenfold Insignificance
Fallen bicycles in China
In German "The phrase "A sack of rice (or bicycle) fell over in China (or Beijing)" is a colloquial metaphor for an unimportant event. With this derogatory, joking phrase, the speaker expresses his disinterest or signals the perceived insignificance of a topic." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_China_ist_ein_Sack_Reis_umgefallen

As the mix between red’s passion and white’s purity, pink symbolizes love, nurture and compassion. It evokes feelings of comfort, warmth and hope. Pink is also a sign of good health with the phrase “in the pink.” It symbolizes success in the expression that “everything is rosy” and happiness with “tickled pink.”
The phrase "Do not be afraid" is written in the Bible 365 times. That's a daily reminder from God to live everyday being fearless.
a familiar title, the sun is a cloud. a phrase worth repeating, to find and fix, in treasured memory, an idea that should be true, and make it a part of my normal belief system, an unspoken fact, metaphysically true, physically true, absolutely true, requiring no further thought, embedded in my being.
i am human, the air is my sustenance, the earth is a rock, all you need is love, instant karma's gonna get you, the sun is a cloud.
the sun is a cloud.

The phrase "Shepherd's Delight" will have meaning for most english speakers but for those of you whose first language is not English the phrase comes from an old saying, as follows: "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning."
I've since learned that apparently the phrase first appears in the Bible in the book of Matthew. It is an old weather saying, often used at sunrise and sunset to signify the changing sky and was originally known to help the shepherds prepare for the next day's weather.

A working reconstruction of the Turing-Welchman Bombe decoding machine from plans finally released by British Security some 40 years after the war.
This is the front panel showing the motor driven rotary switches that - when the machine stopped - revealed some settings of the Enigma machine and hence the route to decoding the message.
The original machine was essentially a simulator of multiple Enigma machines and was first used in August 1940. Over 200 were in operation at WW2 end. It was a development by Turing of the earlier Polish Bombe and was greatly increased in speed by an innovation of Gordon Welchman.
The machines were purely electro mechanical – rotary switches, relays, miles of cables. They ran on and on looking for a possible match between the code and a short plain text guess - part of a weather report phrase for example. If the machine stopped it indicated a likely success and with it some of the original Enigma machine settings. Further manual analysis was needed to finally get a decode.

“Dream to the max” is a phrase we hear on advertisements for lottery tickets. Gosh, the prize was up to 50 million the other day! I said to the person at the counter “ Why don’t they just offer 50 one million dollar prizes?” She replied that not as many people would buy the ticket then. They would wait until the prize was bigger. Really? My big dream is that the new year brings us tons of opportunities to go road tripping and finding nice light for photo shoots again. BUT…..it would be nice to win just one million so our children could be mortgage free. 😏. Happy Sliders Sunday!
I'm trying out a different camera and some alternative software to those I am familiar with so I think the phrase 'clarting about' comes to mind, or for those technically minded 'experimenting'. I know it needs further work, but thought I would post it as a starting point.
The above shot was taken earlier this evening and now that I have found the spot, will be a frequent visitor as it is only a very small detour from my usual journey to and from work.
