picture (one) (doing something)

picture (one) (doing something)

To conceive of or imagine one doing something. Jeff has always led such a wild life that I just can't picture him settling down in that sleepy little town. You know how skittish your father is around animals. Now picture him riding on the back of a donkey all the way down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon! I like to picture us lying out on a beach, sipping margaritas.
