I think that the title speaks for itself, so just give your explanation why. I know that we have some very creative people, so this should be interesting. smile by the way, I loved all the creativity with my moon question. smile Thanks to all who participated. so this exercise is so that we can practice writing in Spanish. smile

Post in Spanish and English

Keep the content (pictures and what you write) clean so we can all enjoy ourselves.

Simply because it's human nature to want what we can't, or don't have.

Simplemente porque es la naturaleza humana querer lo que no puede, o no tenemos.

The grass on the other side is only greener when you don't like yourself.

El pasto al otro lado es más verde solamente cuando no te gusta a ti mismo.

Porque cuanto más obtenemos,cuanto más queremos.¡Por eso las vacas son más feliz que nosotros como son daltónico!

-Because the more we get,the more we want.That's why the cows are happier than us as they are color-blind!

Para citar a Erma Bombeck, la hierba es siempre más verde sobre el tanque séptico.

To quote Erma Bombeck, the grass is always greener over the septic tank.

Porque nunca llegamos a otro lado, no hay ningunos lados, tenemos que sacar el máximo provecho a donde nos encontramos ahora mismo.

Because we never get to the other side, there are no other sides, we must make the most of where we find ourselves right now.

Sin envidia y descontento tenemos que confesar que los pastos alpinos del país adyacente (Austria) son más verdes como los nuestros

Without envy and discontent we must confess that the Alpine pastures of the adjacent country (Austria) are greener like ours

You should use "greener" instead of "more green". Szia! - Jubilado, May 21, 2014

Anything seen from a distance looks better than it does up close. I call it the 10 yard rule. If it looks good from 10 yards away it is fine. This especially applies to painting things, which I hate to do.

Cualquiera cosa vista de un distancia parece mejor que cuando vista cerquita. Lo llamo la regla de 10 metros. Si parece bien de 10 metros lejos, está bien. Esta especialmente applica de pintar, lo que me odio hacer.
