Let's Reach For The Sky

It's almost weekend and I hope all of you had a splendid time. If things were kind of harsh on you, I hope everything gets better soon. This post was written in the spirit of reaching to the sky. I'm submitting this post to my dear friend Jientje's meme, A Thousand Words In Idioms, and SkyWatch Friday.

Let me quote Jientje's words at Heaven is in Belgium:

[...] just pick two idioms and illustrate them with your pictures. Grab that camera or look in your archives. Just be creative, that's all I'm asking! And don't forget to have fun and visit one another, okay?
So here we go...
M is for "Over the Moon"

Meaning: Very happy or delighted. If you would like to find out more about the origin of this saying, click here. This is actually a shot of the morning sky at our yard, but I thought it kind of resembled the moon. My Kyocera camera doesn't suit night shots too well, so please go with me to pretend on this one.

S is for
"Blue Sky Thinking"

Meaning: Brainstorming; opening up your mind as widely as possible in discussion. If you would like to find out more about this saying, click here. This shot was taken by my husband on an office Team-Building event in Bali. They were as matter of fact "blue sky thinking".
I got my idioms from A Phrase A Week for this post.

I heard the saying "Over the Moon" before but this is the first time I heard "Blue Sky Thinking". Great pictures to go along with the Idioms.

Tried to listen to the song but the video has been removed or some such thing. Will seek it out on the youtube

You have yourself a really nice Weekend.
