Using a bit of inversion and a bit of cropping, The Little Webster dictionary, which is at least 60:years old provides the definition of bit. Amusing to me the first definition is in regards to a horse. But if you look now at the Merriam-Webster, the definitions include so many more items such as words in a play, computer parts, tools, and more. ODC: just a bit
It all started when I came across the cracked eggs photograph by Alex Mironyuk. I felt as if this was photographed on a different planet. After some careful planning (not in my dictionary) I booked my trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico to visit this wonderland.
My flight landed around midnight and by the time I finished with car rental it was almost 1:30 AM. I being a night owl helped a bit here. Drove all the way to GPS location of the trailhead at Bisti and reached around 5 AM. I was bit scared to start my hike in the dark, so waited till I could see some light on the horizon and started my adventure.
It was roughly 1-1.5 miles hike through Hunter wash and I was constantly checking for clouds whole time I was walking. I could see some dark clouds moving towards the east. I was silently praying that it should not rain. Any amount of rain will not only spoil the photograph but the whole terrain will become extremely slippery and almost impossible to navigate. After 30 min walk, my heart filled with joy when I saw the three wings standing gracefully on mud mounds. But that happiness did not last long.
It started raining and became heavy at one point. I really got angry, disappointed and decided to turn back. But before turning back I took a photograph thinking that will be the one I am going to post. I started walking to trailhead looking back at the wings every two steps with a hope that some miracle will happen.
Then it happened. The rain stopped and storm clouds started glowing with light from the rising sun. My face also brightened up along with landscape and I started running (not advisable) back to the wings. Within few moments, the whole sky was on fire with a mix of colors.
Struggling to get to best vantage point I slipped and fell a couple of times. With my pants, bag, and tripod covered with mud, I kept on shooting the best moments of that morning. Miracles do happen. Don't they?

Today, some definitions. Definitions from the Rhyl Wenglish dictionary, Wenglish being an odd mix of North Walian and Scouse. I know the Oxford is the definitive English tome, however we're a bit more down to earth and on the streets here. For flips sake, they call a microwave oven a 'ping-ping' round these parts. I jest not. I mean, who in their right minds wouldn't go to Argos and ask for a thermo-nuclear sustainance regeneration device, rather than a ping-ping?
Anyway, to the definitions.
Rugex (n) rug-gecks
A special train to take fans to a stadium to watch a game involving largely overgrown men tossing odd shaped balls around and indulging in an awful lot of group hugging.
Tossers (n) toss-sirs
Fans of said game, so called because of their love of said tossing activities.
I think that's enough dictionaryisms for today.
Here's a Rugex, alas not today's. I braved the wind and the snow to phot 1V90. My dedication was repayed by the WAG set being replaced by 175110. Those Arriva wags eh? You gotta admire their sense of humour. Not.
So here's one of 1V90 at Rhyl on 26 November 2016, 67022 pushing on.

My partner Gemma and I had the 12 week scan today and we're expecting a baby in the new year.
Of course the first thing i thought of was the dictionary of image (not really :)
