PE 10/20 Taking Pictures of the Changing Leaves

It’s beautiful. You can really get in tune with nature. How did you find this place?
* get in tune with: to become comfortable with something
= get in touch with; connect with; be one with
ex> My mother goes to the Buddhist temple every day to get in tune with her inner self.
ex> My wife likes to have quiet time every day to get in tune with her inner peace.

Don’t forget that this was back in the day of film cameras, so when you took a picture, you had to make it count.
* back in the day: a reference to how things were different in the past
ex> Back in the day we used to call each other, not just send short text messages.
Note> This expression if often used to refer to a time in one’s life looked backed upon with great fondness.
* make something count: to give something your best effort because you only have one chance
ex> You only get one chance to impress your interviewer, so make it count.

I think if you get out of the car really quietly, you can sneak up on that group of deer in the grass over there.
* sneak up on: to move stealthily toward something so as not to be seen
ex> Please don’t sneak up on me while I’m working.

So beautiful! Look at the fawns with all their pretty spots.
* fawn [fɔ:n]: 새끼 사슴

The big buck with the huge antlers saw us. You’d better make it fast before they run off into the forest.
* make it fast/quick: to do something quickly
ex> The sun is setting soon, so if we’re going to put up our tent, we need to make it fast.
