In my 80s

April 25, 2019

Perhaps my favorite figure of speech is the synecdoche — a part stands for the whole.  Examples: We have 20 head of cattle. My sixteen year old daughter now has four wheels. Come over to our house and have a bite.

Synecdoche lends itself quite well to photography. Here is a synecdoche for the back forty. 

A synecdoche for old barn.

A synecdoche for spring. 

For breakfast. 

And a fifth synecdoche, this for antiquity.

Today I’m in a rural zone. It’s been a cloudy and rainy day. I searched for a synecdoche but couldn’t find a good one. But here is one from my files.
