In blogland it is ABC Wednesday--take a look.
Here in Israel I invite you to idioms beginning with "I".
It takes a village to raise a child. = It takes many people to teach a child all that he or she should know.
In the swing. = If things are in the swing, they are progressing well.
I've got a bone to pick with you. = I have some complaint to make against you.
In someone else's shoes = It is difficult to know what another person's life is really like, so we don't know what it is like to be in someone's shoes.
In the saddle = If you're in the saddle, you are in control of a situation. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. = Wishing for something or wanting it is not the same as getting or having it.
In a jam = If you are in a jam, you are in some trouble.
In the driver's seat = In charge of something or in control of a situation.
I'll cross that road [or bridge] when I come to it. = I'll think about something just when it happens, not in advance.Thanks to UsingEnglish.com for definitions of the idioms.

I like your choice of photos for "I".
Thanks, dear readers. Glad you liked this post. It was fun to do.
The first two photos are from my 5-day stay in Darajat, an Arab village in the Negev desert. Such nice young people being raised by the clans and the whole progressive village.
Webradio, I'm so glad the photos lets you "dream travel"!
Kris, the goat farm puts any dead goats out in the woods for the jackals. They really pick the bones clean.
Dong, Jerusalem is today 33 C (91 F), at night 19 degrees. It has been in the low 30s all summer.
In the Jordan Valley, down south in Eilat, and up north in the Galilee it is even hotter.
excellent illustration of idioms!

Beautiful post.Good report.
I teach ESL students, and the lingo can very often throw them for a loop. Also, they are much younger than I, so the idioms I use are very strange to them! Fun post.
