to see something or someone for a very brief time · to briefly spot
This expression is perfect for those exciting travel moments when you briefly spot something amazing! ✨ Maybe it's a rare animal, a distant landmark, or even a celebrity passing by. It means you saw it, but only for a very short time. 🚀
💡 **Pro-Tip!** You often 'catch a glimpse' when something moves quickly, you're observing from a distance, or your view is partly obscured. It implies you didn't get a long, detailed look – more like a 'blink and you might miss it' kind of moment! 👀 Use it to add a touch of drama to your travel stories!
