This beautiful forsythia blossom definitely swayed in the light breeze when I took it during my walk last Tuesday.
With my own texture.

Diese schöne Forsythienblüte hat ganz bestimmt in der leichten Brise geschwankt, als ich sie während meines Spaziergangs letzten Dienstag aufgenommen habe.
Mit meiner eigenen Textur.
I didn't notice until I'd posted this that there's an object hanging from the tree in the upper right corner.
On this cover of the German dictionary the emphasis is on the word German, which is appropriate! Oxford-Duden seems to think they should be next, but then in italics, the word Pictorial occurs. That is in conjunction with the images shown below. In actuality, this Old edition of the New Edition really didn't have that many images shown, so the small text Pictorial is probably appropriate but not intended by Mr./Ms Duden!! Black for a color of the negative space was nicely picked as it shows off the colorful images - unlike the Norwegian Dictionary.
Pulled an Andrew again.. The Sax Dictionary describes Pulling An Andrew as seeing something shocking, reacting quick to it with out thinking, and darting off in a mad dash to try to document the thing that freaked me out.

I love the idea of this group. I decided to look at www.dictionary.com and see if I can find a picture for their "Word of the Day."
I love dictionaries. I have all kinds of them, from huge unabridged ones to a tiny one that will fit in the palm of my hand.
This is from the Webster's New International Dictionary Second Edition, 1947.
One of my favorite parts is the New Words section. Among the many "new" words in 1947: allergic (slang), anthology, camera (television), carcinogen, Freon, Molotov cocktail, Nazism (or Naziism), plasma, Polaroid, public domain, racism, sabotage, sadism, script (radio), stratosphere, supernova, tommy gun, vinyl resin, WAC, and white dwarf.
Oh, and for Harry Potter fans, the word "muggles" was also added to the dictionary in 1947--meaning marijuana or marijuana cigarettes.
