NO HORSING AROUND!

I love the English language because it uses the same word to mean different things. Yes the picture is of a horse very calmly eating some grass.

The horse can be used to describe life. Life is like a horse race. You can start out last but end up first.

Horses like the Queen's horses are used in parades and even the Royal Wedding- 2011 had lots of horses. The horse is such a significant animal in history. Just think of the cowboy and the Wild West! Or the Calgary Stampede! Sometimes the horse just entertains us as we see from Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride!
Good thing we eat like a pig sometimes and not like a horse! Some people have a horsey laugh! So really no horsing around today!

THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE

Or in this case the trees! We have so many expressions in English that I often wonder who really said them first and when did they become a cliche! This picture could also have the caption- The Light at the end of the Tunnel! Or is it a walkway or a little road! Not a tunnel! If early morning, the thought that each day brings us from the dark into the light! It is darkest before the dawn! When you look at the picture, what do you see? Does it bring positive or negative thoughts? Seeing the trees and the water, do you walk through the "tunnel" to get a view from the other side? There is shade, do you want to get out of the sun? Or do you want to have a look then keep walking?
