We have a saying here, which I know won’t make much sense, but I’ll say it anyway because it sounds so funny translated: “What the fox can’t reach, she hangs!“
I think the English equivalent is “the grapes are sour”.
In other words, I wasn’t able to see the eclipse [see photo above], so what do I do?
I create my own eclipse!
After all, I did it at the time of its peak!
How, you may ask?
Well, I eclipsed the sun with …my hand!
Silly, but here it is…
My very own eclipse!
Oh, look, sun is back again!!!!!

You are a nut! A lovely, artistic, imaginative nut.

Yep…exactly, to hell with it!… we can make our own! 😉

Awesome photos, Marina, and love that saying, too! Happy weekend, my friend! 💗🎉💗🎉💗🎉
Thank you, my dear Lauren! So happy you enjoyed them! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
How about that, a handclipse.
Aesop was Greek, so it’s surprising that you don’t have a closer equivalent to the “sour grapes” that English has borrowed from the fable “The Fox and the Grapes.”
“Handclipse” sounds perfect! 😉
What can I say, they probably started off with the same meaning but with time it’s …changed! 😉
Love the saying. The photos are genius! ❤️💕😊🌸🤗♥️🌹🧡🌺☕️
Ah, thank you, Holly! Hope you’re enjoying a beautiful weekend [with a working a/c!]

ThAnkfulky the AC is working. We are in the path if the Sahara desert dust storm. Can’t win ..xoxoxo
Oh no…. I know exactly what that means! We’ve had our share of it this year. I just hope we won’t be in its path a lot this summer… 😉
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I hope not too, it’s really bad for the allergies! xoxoxoxoxoxox
…headaches, respiration and… mood!
😘😘😘😘😘😘
Oh gosh yeah! My asthma has been kicking in! I’m staying inside! 😘😘😘😘😘😘
Yes, do!!!!!! Keep safe! 🤗😘🥰🤗😘🥰🤗❤
Absolutely brilliant images, Marina. I do like your saying and it sounds funny translated. I must tell it to my foxes. 😀
Yes, you must!!!!! I’d love to know what they think! 😉 Thank you so much, Sylvia!

oh I like that literal translation – it could be the start of a poem…hmm
no sign of sour grapes here Marina- you turned a negative to a positive with your mock up of an eclipse. Our sun is fast disappearing again – to be eclipsed by rain clouds 😦
Have a lovely weekend
A ha ha… it’s always fun translating mot-à-mot various sayings to another language. They come out so funny! 😉
Well, you know what to do! Go out at blow the clouds away! 😉
You too have a beautiful weekend! Hugs xo
Marina, eclipsing the sun with your hand, suggests you’re having a surprisingly big hand, but as you have such a wide ranging creative talent I have to believe you.
Your shots are fantastic so indeed you must have that magic hand!
A ha ha ha…. a palm the size of the moon!!!!!!! Now you created an image that will stay with me! 😉 Thank you so much, my dear friend! So happy you liked my… eclipse! 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Oh my goodness, the picture are amazing!
Ah, thank you so much! I had to have an eclipse.. even if it was by my hand [and not the Moon! 😉 ] Glad you liked it! Happy weekend! 🙂
Absolutely breathtaking.
You have a nice weekend too!
Awww……. Thank you! 🙂 🙂 🙂 xoxo
Your hand works as well as the moon. I think we say “Sour Grapes”, as in “Why the sour grapes?” when someone makes a face. Which is similar to “cara de mala leche” (bad milk face) in Spanish. I love Jethro Tull.
Ha ha haaaaaa….. yes, well, I had to have an eclipse! 😉 The expression actually comes from a myth of Aesop. According to that myth, a fox was trying hard to reach a branch with some grapes on it. After realizing it wasn’t able to, it said “Nevermind, the grapes were stale and sour anyway”. 😉 but it’s funny how it translates mot-à-mot! 😉
It’s probably the origin os Sour Grapes as well.
sounds like it….
Great phots even if manufacturered. I really enjoyed Jethro Tull , a huge favourite of mine back in the day 💜💜 very apt choice. Have a great weekend too 💜
