If “language is the dress of thoughts” ( Johnson), then idioms must the wardrobe.
Jientje at Heaven Is In Belgium hosts A Thousand Words In Idioms on Wednesdays wherein she asks participants to illustrate an idiom or two with a photo. This is the very last one, so if you’ve been thinking about joining in, this is the time!
Staying on track.
If you’re staying on track, you’re keeping in line with your goals or you’re keeping within the parameters of your goals, e.g., “If I want to lose weight, I need to stay on track with my diet and exercise.” (I just finished watching The Biggest Loser, so weight is on the mind. 🙂 )
Making tracks.
This usually means leaving one place to go someplace else. I’ve also heard it used to mean that one needs to go fast: “If I’m going to make it to the store before it closes, I need to make tracks.”
The top picture was taken by Jeremy, my oldest son, and the bottom one by my husband a few years ago, but they are all in our archives together as family pictures, so I hope it is okay I am not using photos I took myself.
No idiom to go with this one, but I just wanted to show what Jason made with his tracks:
Awww! I could have used that one for warm fuzzies even though it was a cold day.
You can see more at Jientje‘s on Wednesday.
Stray Thoughts 
The photos are from your family and not filched from the net, so I think they qualify. Besides, they were great, especially that last one. Kids are cool.
That last pic is sooooo sweet!
How wonderful these are 🙂 The photos belong to you so they count. I love that last one. It’s the bomb. Well done and it was wonderful reading and seeing yours throughout this meme 🙂
Very nice interpretation of the idioms, but I am freezing now !
Of course they qualiy!! They’re great and they tell the story so well! Loved that last one!
I’m going to miss this!!
**qualify**
That bottom picture is one of those BIG “done” surprises that are just WONDERFUL!!! What a sweet boy!!!
Great idioms too!
WE dragons have trouble staying on track in snowstorms. We think those are great illustrations.
I know I’ve said it before, but you ARE such a good blogger, Barbara. Your pictures and sayings were so well-matched and I absolutively loved the one of Jason! What a great son he is! 🙂
Two good idioms illustrated and an extra picture. Plus the first one was about train tracks.
What a wonderful place to visit.
Aww, that is very sweet!
How sweet! I love your final idioms. Have a wonderful week, Barbara 🙂
