Hi everyone, Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. The rules are rather simple.
- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun.NOTE The idea behind this week’s theme is to shoot a photo which will be an interpretation of the cliché of your choice. And to help you fulfill this challenge, . . . Cliché List: Definition, Meaning and Examples. Happy Cliché Hunting! |

May take me awhile to come up with something for this, but sounds like it will be a fun challenge to watch this week.

"Heard it on the grapevine", yes, we have grapes and vineyards in ND. These are cousin to wild grapes that grow here.  |

"He's got this bird eating out of his hand". But what kind of bird?? Inquiring minds want to know, along with birdwatchers!

Fun theme and one where you could likely take a pic and then find a cliché to fit using the helpful search on that webpage - which is what I did with this one. I'll go with "Get the Ball rolling" or it could be "Grin and Bear it"   Carving of the stump of a dead ash tree by a local chainsaw artist - quite a few around thanks to the emerald ash borer. Tony |

So it turns out I have a double here. We went to the Sculpture Gardens today so I could take pictures of the lotus flowers but they were not looking very good. So there are two cliches here: 1. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.  And ....A picture’s worth a thousand words.  |

We are not bird experts, but we think that it is a great tit, a common bird in England. This was the first time that I have ever got a wild bird to eat out of my hand, a surprising experience. |

We are not bird experts, but we think that it is a great tit, a common bird in England. ... from Wiki...you and I know the closely related chickidees. The tits, chickadees, and titmice constitute the Paridae, a large family of small passerine birds which occur mainly in the Northern Hemisphere and Africa. Members of this family are commonly referred to as "tits" throughout much of the English speaking world, but North American species are called either "chickadees" (onomatopoeic, derived from their distinctive "chick-a dee dee dee" alarm call)[1] or "titmice". The name titmouse is recorded from the 14th century, composed of the Old English name for the bird, mase (Proto-Germanic *maison, Dutch mezen, German Meise), and tit, denoting something small. |

Will look up eBird now. |
