- yesterday was an exception to my general state of never being depressed so I walked through our copse of wood and ended lying on my back in the leaves watching the sky and the changing hues of blue and wisps of cloud with the glint of sunlight resparkling the trees in random flow and the beauty that resides in everything turned my day around - and so with my handy photography machine that I seem to have always in hand I took this photo while still lying on my back and then those six or so that I posted yesterday - the eye of the beholder is everywhere
I am sometimes confused on whether to use 'lying or laying' but a good rule to remember is:
I am sometimes confused on whether to use 'lying or laying' but a good rule to remember is:
"The second definition of lying is,
quite simply, to be horizontal in your position. Lying down for a nap
will help me feel better.
It’s not uncommon for people to use
laying when referring to being in a horizontal position. It seems to be
the easiest of the definitions to get mixed up.
The definitions for laying become
simple when you look at them in their root form. Lay means the place.
Used in a sentence, you could say: Lay the school books on the table
and then go up to clean your room. Adding the ING suffix is simply a
function of sentence structure. Laying the school books on the table
she went up to clean her room. Most often you can check your use of the
word by replacing the word in the sentence with place. Placing the
books on the table she went up to clean her room.
Laying is also defined as producing eggs. The chickens are laying more eggs than we can eat."
