phrase out of Robbie Williams' song 'Feel' : www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGxfRsQe0x0

turned this one grey and sung along as many times and more... with whole my heart... mind you, only the words I like about it!

this picture is sooc

The phrase originates with the practice of professional photographers taking photographs of small children. Photographers often try to distract the child with an interesting toy held to the side of the camera, so that the child will be looking toward the camera when the picture is taken.

The phrase continued on to be the words of choice used by photographers everywhere to command the attention of their subjects.

'Say cheese' is of course another popular and well known phrase.

Actually.... if the truth be known, the people on the pier seemed more fixed on and/or intrigued with what I was doing with my camera, rather than that of the fly by seagull..

Sedge Warbler - Acrocephalus Scirpaceous

The sedge warbler is a medium-sized warbler of marshes, reedbeds and wetlands that can be spotted singing from perches on reeds and willow bushes. A great mimic, the male sedge warbler introduces random phrases into its repertoire, never singing the same song twice; he attracts more mates the more phrases his song has. Sedge warblers are summer visitors to the UK, breeding in wetland habitats from April onwards.

"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

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.

A spin on the phrase 'Like a deer in the Headlights'

Definition: In a state or manner of paralyzing surprise, fear, or bewilderment. Likened to the tendency of deer to freeze in place in front of an oncoming vehicle.

These cows appeared mesmerized to be photographed in this brilliant golden hour, country snow scene.

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.

“La vie est une phrase interrompue”

Victor Hugo

"""In the early 1500s, the first Jack-in-the-Box was made by a German clockmaker known as Claus. Claus built a wooden box, with metal edges and a handle that would pop out a cartoon devil or “Jack” after cranking the handle.

It was built as a gift for a local prince's fifth birthday. After seeing this toy, other nobles requested their own "Devils-in-a-box" for their children.

In the early 18th century, improved toy mechanisms made the Jack-in-the-Box more widely available for all children and not just royalty.

The Jack-in-the-Box has been used for centuries by cartoonists as a way to describe and poke fun at politicians.

The name Jack in the Box has also been used as the name of a fast food company, who began using the toy and the phrase as their mascot in the early 1950s."""

This is a paper folded version. I used 30x60cm duo colored Kraft paper (gold /red).

Final size: a little box 5x5x5cm, when the box is closed. When Jack pops out the height is 10cm ;-))

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 secretive Gray Catbird, with its distinctive cat-like

mewing note, is a common winter resident in Florida.

Many pass through the state during migration.

Gray Catbirds are one of the most common species that non-birders in their range are likely to have never seen nor identified. The catbird’s rather bland coloration – slate gray with a black cap and chestnut under the tail – doesn’t attract attention, and unlike their cousins, the mockingbirds, that often sing from exposed perches, catbirds prefer to sing their jumbled songs from cover. And it is the sounds that catbirds make that give them their name and makes it at all likely that their presence will be noted.

Gray Catbirds, to put it simply, have a call note that sounds like a cat with a scratchy and short meow. This sound emanating from a tangle of brush can easily fool those not in the know. The song of the Gray Catbird, however, is nothing like a cat meowing: like the mockingbird and thrasher the catbird often mimics other birds and sounds but it tends not to repeat itself. The rule of thumb is that if a phrase is repeated three times in a row it is a mockingbird, it it is repeated twice a thrasher is singing, and if each phrase of the song is sang just once one is dealing with a catbird.

I found this one in my backyard in Lake Wales, Polk County, Florida.

"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!

TREES

What trees try to say

in their slow silence, their vague murmuring,

the sense they have, there where they are,

the reverence, the resonance, the transparency

and the bright and shadowy accents of an airy phrase.

And the shade and the leaves are the innocence of an idea

that between water and space turned itself to lithe integrity.

Beneath the magic breath of the light they are transparent boats.

I don’t know if it’s air or blood budding from their boughs.

I hear the finest foam of their green throats.

I am not, never will be, far from that pure water

and those ancient lamps of hidden isles.

What pure serenity of memory, what horizons

surrounding the silent well! It is a song in sleep

and the wind and light are the breath of a child

who upon a bough of a tree embraces the world.

Antonio Ramos Rosa

The phrase actually means "everything's rosy in the garden" in English – "everything in the green area" is what they say in German ... It's still rosy here in autumn, the roses are still trying hard, the temperatures are also quite pleasant, it gets darker and therefore cozy, the sun peeks out and the grass still shines in the fresh green – like here under the autumn leaf, which forms a protective roof for the blades of grass after it has sailed down – all a reason to feel good ;-)

///

Eigentlich heißt die Redewendung ja "everything’s rosy in the garden" im Englischen – "alles im grünen Bereich" sagt man in Deutsch ... Rosig ist es jetzt im Herbst hier auch noch, die Rosen geben sich noch richtig viel Mühe, die Temperaturen sind auch noch recht angenehm, es wird dunkler und somit gemütlich, die Sonne luchst hervor und das Gras strahlt noch im frischen Grün – so wie hier unter dem Herbstblatt, das ein schützendes Dach für die Grashalme bildet, nachdem es heruntergesegelt war – alles ein Grund, sich wohl zu fühlen ;-)

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.

And? How many are there? I mean the peas, not the ice crystals ;-) We don't want to be petty ... "Counting peas" is a phrase and in English means "to nitpick", that means being petty, stingy or fussy.

The peas are, in the saying, the symbol of the small and of little value. So if you are a bean counter, you dedicate your time to something that is actually not worth it. In any case, here is "everything in the green", another phrase – and that is translated in English: Everything’s rosy in the garden. ;-) And how is it expressed in all the countless languages ​​of the world? Well, then we don't want to be like this (...), to each his own and how he likes it ... I like peas and especially how different they are when you look closely ;-)

///

Und? Wieviele sind es? Ich meine die Erbsen, nicht die Eiskristalle ;-) Da wollen wir mal nicht kleinlich sein ... "Erbsen zählen" ist eine Redensart und bedeutet im Englischen "to nitpick", also kleinlich, geizig oder pingelig sein.

Die Erbsen sind in der Redensart das Sinnbild des Kleinen und wenig Wertvollen. Wer also ein Erbsenzähler ist, widmet seine Zeit einer Sache, die dies eigentlich nicht wert ist. Hier ist jedenfalls "alles im grünen Bereich", noch so eine Redewendung – und die wird im Englischen so übersetzt: Everything’s rosy in the garden. ;-) Und wie wird es in all den unzähligen Sprachen dieser Welt ausgedrückt? Na, dann wollen wir mal nicht so sein, jedem das Seine und wie er es mag ... Ich jedenfalls mag Erbsen und auch besonders, wie unterschiedlich sie sind, wenn man genau hinsieht ;-)

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.

The French phrase “lèche-vitrine” translates literally as “window-licking” and refers to window shopping. I love the expression, and attempt to engage in that activity as often as possible, no matter where I am!

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 😅

We often hear the phrase “power of nature.” The problem with this phrase is that it defines nature's power as coming from itself. It is the source of its own power per se. The Bible gives us a different perspective. God is the all powerful Creator of the universe. He is the One that tells lightning where it should strike. The power that we see in nature is instilled into it by an even more powerful Creator! In fact, Scripture tells us that this is the response of creation to its all powerful Creator!
