For some that phrase would describe their eyes after a late night of partying and ringing in the New Year. For me on this first morning of the 20s, it meant first-light reaching Towers of the Virgin in Zion National Park.
Being a native East-Coaster, who has transplanted to life on the West Coast, I still feel that the New Year occurs when the crystal ball drops in New York, and that's the end. So, with the aide of staid Springdale, Utah, it was easy to get an early bedtime on New Years Eve so we could begin the trek to the Canyon Overlook Trail at 6:00 AM to catch first-light and sunrise from this vantage.
The trail is a relatively flat mile hike with a few tricky spots where the ice and slickrock conspire to give even the most sure-footed concern in the dark. Once we reached the overlook, I was a little concerned that our cold trek may have been for naught, due to the heavy cloud cover. Though they were thick overhead, there still was some clearing to the East, along the sun on the horizon to light a narrow band, reflecting off the cloud bottoms and warming the sheer rocks faces of the Temple of the Virgin ahead. This image was captured about 10-15 minutes before the local sunrise time, and is considerably brighter than what we saw with our eyes, due to the 20-second exposure.
Once the actual sun rays reached the Temple directly, the light only lit the areas seen here in red for less than 5 minutes before disappearing above the clouds for the remainder of the 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

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.

They have a highly audible song for such a small bird. It took several minutes before I could locate him as he sang a few phrases from one place, and then started again in another location. Luckily for me, he flew down to an open perch very close where he sang and raised his crown.
It was a bright overcast backlight situation. I was close enough to get detail though, and I really like the way those red crown feathers were lighted from behind.
If you have never heard its song, Check the link below.

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".

The song thrush is a familiar bird, brown above, with a white belly covered in black, drop-shaped spots. It is smaller and a warmer brown than the Mistle Thrush, and lacks the white eyestripe and red flank patches of the Redwing.The song thrush is a small, familiar songbird, commonly found in parks and gardens, woodland and scrub. Living up to its common name, it has a beautiful, loud song with repeating phrases. Widespread throughout Europe, and as far east as Siberia, northern populations are migratory, heading to Africa, whereas our song thrushes tend to be residents. From March until April, song thrushes breed, often producing three broods of up to five blue, spotty eggs.Song thrushes will eat all kinds of food, but earthworms make up a large part of their diet. When the ground becomes too hard to get at them, song thrushes will eat snails instead. To get at the meat inside, they take the shell and crack it open by banging it against a stone 'anvil'. This behaviour is unique to these birds.

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.
..everyone is tired of the heat and is silent. No strength to speak. Very hot... From time to time someone says this already obvious phrase.. "..PANAS.. panaaas....!! " ("Heat..!")
West Irian, Papua New Guinea island. A representative of the dominant minority, a migrant from the island of Java, rests in the shade in the house of a Papuan from the Lani tribe. Such a picture is not single, fallow deer are open to communication.
Approximately like the inhabitants of the island of Cuba during the struggle for independence. They believe in Chegevara, Bob Marley, they are inspired by the ideas of justice, and they dream of becoming masters of their land. An extremely dangerous for them religion for today... Today, the Lani tribe has scattered around the island and, instead of hereditary tribal territories, and they stray in the lands of other Papuan peoples.

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.

13 Everyday Phrases That Actually Came From Shakespeare

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
"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!
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

Cyclarhis nigrirostris
(Black-billed Peppershrike / Verderón piquinegro)
The Black-billed Peppershrike is a distinctive songbird of northwestern South America. Found in the subtropical zone on Andean slopes between 1300 and 2700 meters in elevation, this peppershrike inhabits canopy of humid forest in its range in Colombia and Ecuador.
As it remains hidden in the canopy of the forest, the best way to detect the Black-billed Peppershrike is by listening for the song, a rich warbling song composed of short, separated phrases.
Black-billed Peppershrike (Cyclarhis nigrirostris), In Neotropical Birds Online (T. S. Schulenberg, Editor). Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA. retrieved from Neotropical Birds Online: neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/Species-Account/nb/species/...
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.
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.

Young couple dancing by the window. I don’t know the names of these people, I know that they don’t smoke or drink alcohol ... and they’ll have a wedding soon. The photo was taken during the celebration of the anniversary in the Moscow restaurant.
Under the phrase "harmonious couple", many understand approximately one thing: partners fit each other, have a great relationship, in the end, look good next to each other. But all this does not fully reflect the essence of the concept.
According to scientists, there are five aspects that define a wonderful union and are present in a relationship.
Mutual respect. This is one of the fundamental conditions for a strong union of a man and a woman. If one partner is not ready or does not want to accept the other as he is, accept his shortcomings and features, a good family will not work.
The desire to speak frankly with a partner. According to psychologists, the ability to find common topics of conversation, to interest another in something is an important condition. But it is even more important to be able and ready to listen and hear a loved one. Pretending that you are interested in discussing a topic is one of the types of lies and will not lead to anything good.
Feel and be one team. This is expressed in the distribution of responsibilities around the house, and sincere care for each other, and in the feeling of oneself as a whole. Remember the musketeers' motto: "One for all and all for one"? Something like this is tacitly in the relationship of spouses.
Sense of humor. In a harmonious relationship, it is good not only to admire each other's skills, but also to joke fun about shortcomings, it is easy and positive to experience troubles.
Confidence. In a couple where there is no absolute trust in each other, there is no happy future. Doubt can kill even the greatest love.
“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!

Το πέτρινο γεφύρι της Κλειδωνιάβιστας (ή Βοϊδομάτη) Stone bridge of Kleidoniavista (or Voidomatis)
on my Blog ΛΟΓΕΙΚΩΝ Logicon
Στις όχθες του Βοϊδομάτη εκεί όπου τελειώνει η χαράδρα του Βίκου και σε απόσταση 2 χμ. από την Κλειδωνιά βρίσκεται το γεφύρι της Κλειδωνιάβιστας (ή Βοϊδομάτη). Πρόκειται για μονότοξο γεφύρι με στιβαρή επιμήκυνση του τόξου του, κτισμένο το 1853 με δαπάνες της ευεργέτιδας Μπαλκίζ Χανούμ, η οποία έδωσε για την κατασκευή του 37.000 γρόσια.
Στο σημείο αυτό του ποταμού, προϋπήρχε από τους βυζαντινούς χρόνους μια παλιότερη γέφυρα η οποία είχε συνδεθεί μ’ ένα φονικό επεισόδιο που έγινε εκεί μεταξύ δυο οικογενειών της περιοχής και είχε σαν αποτέλεσμα να εγκαταλειφτεί ένα ολόκληρο χωριό. Δύο μεγάλες και πλούσιες οικογένειες συγκρούστηκαν για ζήτημα τιμής πάνω στο γεφύρι. Η μία ήταν η οικογένεια του Γεραίνη και η άλλη ήταν η οικογένεια του Σταμάτη. Νύφη η κόρη του Γεραίνη περνούσε μαζί με την οικογένεια και τους συγγενείς της πάνω από το γεφύρι, όταν ρίχτηκε πάνω τους η οικογένεια του Σταμάτη μαζί με φίλους. Στη μάχη που ακολούθησε σκοτώθηκαν μεταξύ άλλων ο Γεραίνης με τη γυναίκα του και δύο ξαδέρφια της νύφης. Από τότε τραγουδιέται και το μοιρολόϊ της κόρης του Γεραίνη: "Δεν τον αλλάζω τον αχό/να πω άλλο τραγούδι/έχασα κύρη καί κυρά καί δυό πρώτα ξαδέρφια...". Το γεφύρι βρίσκεται σε μια πανέμορφη τοποθεσία κατάφυτη από πλατάνια από όπου ξεκινά το μονοπάτι το οποίο διασχίζει το φαράγγι.
This phrase is posted outside of the Jordan Store in Downtown Chicago on State St. It has 3 floors. The 1st floor is the shoe store and somewhat of a museum with memorabilia and art. The 2nd floor is a gym where sponsored Jordan Brand athletes get to train and practice. The 3rd floor does apparel and shoe customizations. Pretty cool place but I couldn't get a clear shot to save my life 😅
This hackneyed phrase wears thin when winter drags into spring and snowstorms visit in April and May. The title is repeated not as a happy greeting, but as a weary disappointment and sometimes with derision. Yes, this photo was taken today -- snow fell last night.
This was our third snow this week and another comes in two days. But that patch of blue sky nourishes optimism--it will be warm and sunny soon.
A German phrase I've always loved for which I have no real English equivalent that says it so succinctly and with such cheer :-). (Pronounced: Fy-er arb'nt) It basically signals 'time to go home/end of the workday/you're free to go home - have a good night/weekend!'
Happy Fence Friday :-) from Isle D'Orleans in Quebec ...so I probably should've given this a French title ...maybe - but when I look at the floral energy bouncing through this scene, I think of how that word 'Feierabend' makes you feel energized, like you've been freed/released to go relax and have fun. Just as the flowers in this scene seem to be springing over the fence and off to do whatever the night holds in store for them. :-)
- that the prince will return -
( secret Jacobite phrase.)
Because of the "so called treasonous" nature of the Highland rebellion (1715-1746) that hoped for the return of the exiled Scottish (and Catholic) King James Stewart, many secret symbols and phrases sprang up and were toasted by the sympathizers in their halls.
Eilean Donnain (Island of Donan) was one such place where they met, planned, feasted and danced. Situated on the west coast of Scotland not far from Skye, it was a stronghold of the clan MacKenzie.
The rebellion came to it's tragic conclusion on the Battlefield of Culloden Moor on April 16, 1746 where 2000 brave but ill equipped Highlanders were slaughtered by the Hanoverian Forces of England. Those who managed to survive or escape were hunted down and executed. This marked the end of the ancient system of chieftains and clans in Scotland. Many Scots who were victims of the ruthless highland clearances fled to the new world.
There is still to this day a very large portion of the Scots population that would like to see independence from Britain.
