Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!

This is a game where you can all practice your Spanish and English, but still have fun at

the same time!

Please, give everyone a chance and only post more or less one caption and no photos.

Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon más o menos una respuesta, sin fotos. .

Please encourage everyone with a vote. . .Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

Desgraciadamente no sé nade de usted, Alonndra. Puedes estar correcta. Hay muchas veces donde se usa subjuntivo después de "cuando," - Jubilado, Feb 11, 2016
yes 'pones la carreta antes que el caballo' :) - Pablo064, Feb 12, 2016
Gracias, Pablo, ahora sé es correcto. Ojalá supe más de las credenciales de Alonndra. Evidente es hispanohablante nativa pero no nos dice. - Jubilado, Feb 12, 2016

Pues, si una vaca saltó la luna, ¿que puede hacer un burro?

So, if a cow jumped over the moon, what might a donkey do?

Gracias Alonndra. I had "Esto" and came back and changed it to "Este". Oh well. - gringojrf, Feb 11, 2016
Yes, the "este" "esto" thing is really hard for me. I wish the RAE would do something about that! ;-) - Winkfish, Feb 11, 2016

No es de extrañar que un pobre rocín no pueda arrastrar semejante carga.¿ Qué dirán los protectores de animales ?

No wonder that a poor nag can not drag such a big burden . What would the defenders of the animal rights say?

Nunca seré tu bestia de carga. He caminado por millas y me duelen los pies.

I'll never be your beast of burden. I've walked for miles and my feet are hurting.

Rolling Stones, Beast of Burden. I think off Some Girls.:) - bosquederoble, Feb 12, 2016

I knew this new job would be a pain in the burrow. You get to travel places she said, you'll get to see new things she said.

Sabía que este nuevo trabajo sería un dolor en la madriguera. Podrás viajar por lugares dijo, podrás ver nuevas cosas dijo

Gracias Pablo and Alonndra. smile

The first part it's perfect in the second sentence I'd say 'podrás viajar por lugares dijo, podrás ver nuevas cosas dijo.' ;) - Pablo064, Feb 12, 2016

They don't call him Don Quijote for nothing (Don key Jo te) ! wink

Con Correcciones:

¡No lo llaman Don Quijote por nada! wink

jote (can mean) = sky pilot! wink

no lo llaman.... por nada... - Alonndra 15 hrs ag

Muchas gracias, por sus correcciones,, Alondra smile

In Classical Spanish literature, Don Quijote is the romantic dreamer who is rushing off to rescue people, but in this case the dreamer is the donkey wink

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile

Original caption (Spanish version only)

¡No le llaman Don Quijote para nada! wink
