Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge #54

Welcome to Round #54 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any registered Dgrin member. It will run from Monday, June 28, 8:00am PST time (GMT -7) on through Monday, July 12, 8:00am PST time (GMT -7).

The topic ready for your interpretation: Visual Cliché

Time to be trite. Show us your favorite phrase, expression or idea that is so well known we can see the overly used story without reading the title.
When coming up with a title do not use the actual cliché as your title. You can use part of the cliché or words to give us clues.
An example would be "Head in the sand" - for a title you could use "head in the..." or "sand" or even "hiding", try to be imaginative.

Some starting points.
Popular cliches
Extensive list


Your Judges:
liflander: (Winner of Round 50)
Guest Judge: photo-bug

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your entry is to be submitted directly into a SmugMug gallery. It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page: Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your EXIF will be embedded in your image, no worries!

To avoid disqualification, read, in full, the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge Rules, there have been some slight modifications
