Caption This 32


Please suggest a caption for this image [See below for details]
Laval, QC, August 2006


Our son, Zach, took this picture outside his grandparents' place last summer. One morning, we were walking around the riverside paths, looking for whatever scenes captured our attention. I think he did a deft job of composition on this shot, and I'll betray my bias when I say I'm impressed with his ability to see the story in a simple scene.

Your turn: So what would you call it? Leave a caption (0r two, or more...) in a comment and I'll pick the best one next week. Is there a prize? Not really. But you'll get a big happy from me. And from my future-photographer son. Isn't that enough?

About Caption This: Click here for instructions on how to play. Click here for last week's look into a trash bin at a fast food restaurant. Rob, who pens the brilliantly irreverent Fuquad! blog from Turkey, takes it with this fresh take on fast food: "In a bold move to corner a growing market of pessimistic consumers, McDonald's has launched it's new 'Truth In Advertising' campaign."

I was also tickled by a bunch of other submissions, including these lovelies:
Someone last week said I have some very thoughtful readers and commenters. How true indeed.

  1. Hi Carmi. That's an awesome photo! No wonder you're proud. Again, I have no caption - I leave that to the more clever bloggers that visit.

    Just stopping by to say hello while I wait for my daughter to return from a party. Have a great evening!

  5. Wow, great photo.

    I offer two suggestions:
    "When there is no wind, row."

    Or the ever-classic,

    "I think we need a bigger boat."

  12. After a long day the canoe decided to dry out dockside--the water turned green with envy.

    Not really a caption per se, but it's just what popped into my head.
