Karma threw a real challenge our way for her October Photo Hunt. She’s looking for photographic images of idioms. You know idioms, those funny little sayings that we use without thinking. She wants us to find three. Carol already has already posted; Scott and others have too.
It’s getting late, the deadline is October 31st. So here you go. Don’t forget you can click on the photos to make them larger…the better to see the amazing detail! LOL!
I’m not going to label them, at least not right away.
That’s so you can have more fun trying to figure out which idiom they might be.
And in case they’re not that obvious to you, which would be my fault not yours, here are the answers!
1. Let sleeping dogs lie.
2. Birds of a feather flock together.
3. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Karma is giving out extra credit – if we post something something for Halloween…
…so here’s my neighbor’s house at dusk. He’ll take these lights down on November 1st and start putting up his Christmas lights. We get to enjoy holiday lights without any of the work!

My favorite is the horse because the idiom came to my mind instantly when I saw it!

I got the first 2 right away. Should have gotten that last one but got hung up with how sweet that horse looks!
Great job with the challenge, Dawn.

Way to go, Dawn! Do any sleeping dogs actually do it on a floor? Horrors! How could I even suggest that!

You did a VERY good job with the idiom challenge, Dawn. Excellent! I had figured out “birds of a feather” but probably would have been stumped without your appreciated answers.

I got the first and 3rd one! Great photos!
Tell Katie I can feel her pain about Mama’s being tired sometime and not eating nice things. My Mum doesn’t even eat meat, can you believe that! Lucky TNP does though!

My guesses were “dog tired” ,”bird on a wire” and “you can lead a horse to water” – not too far off right? I’m glad you decided to participate Dawn! (Just getting around to visiting everyone after the massive storm and power outage in this area.)

These are great, Dawn! Love all of them, especially the birds on a wire. How could you not love a pooch with a face like that? And I want to nuzzle that sweet horse’s nose and give him a carrot.

What lovely photos you chose to illustrate your idioms ! I recognized the first two. The third one was more difficult to translate and understand. Just for fun here is the litteral French translation and meaning :
“One does not look at the reins of a horse given as a gift” !

I do like Birds of a feather flock together shot, my little nephew said that it’s a sign that it is going to rain when you see birds perching on electric wire. I often wonder how true that is.
