I took this image quickly because I couldn't stop thinking about what must have been going through his (her?) mind as he/she watched me compose the shot. "Lunch" doesn't seem far off. The other animals we saw that day (click here and here for a couple of other examples) seemed a little less menacing.
Your turn: Come up with the zippiest caption for this image and share it in a comment. Repeat as often as you wish. I'll post the winner around this time next Sunday.
About last week's image of our high-flying son: I love this shot because it so perfectly captures this little man's spirit. He enjoys being on this planet so much that he doesn't let anything slow him down. This week's honorable menschens include:
- Melissa: "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing."
- Terri: "Look at Noah's arc!"
- David: "Flight of fancy."
- Jacie: "Barefoot in the Park."
- Allison: "Barefoot and fancy free."
- Robin: "Jump in, feet first."
- Sara: "Look dad I can touch the sky."
- Bob-kat: "Playing with gravity."
- Lissa: "Happy feet"
One more thing: If you're of the motherhood persuasion, I hope you're having a lovely Mother's Day with your family. Although I'm quite the curmudgeon when it comes to commercialized excuses to build temporary sentiment and sell cards and gifts, I love taking moments to celebrate the things that really matter with the folks who really matter. I hope you do the same every day of the year.
Mmm...Canadian.
ReplyDelete"The day all the children disappeared."
ReplyDeleteHey carmi, mmmm you should come stop by my sketh blog there's some neat stuff going on over there. Anywho michele sent me to say hello
I love the expression on it's face. It does seem to have been sizing you up! LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy attempt is:
" If I wasn't stuck in the mud I'd have me a photographer for dinner"
or
"I'm actually vegetarian but no-one knows".
Hope your family has had some good news. Thanks for the comment on my blog. I think your art teacher was spot on.
"Aww, man, I'm trying to sleep here."
ReplyDeleteHey Bud! You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the menschen, Carmi!
ReplyDeleteI wrote on your wall, but I'll say it here; I also don't go for the contrivances of Hallmark holidays but being the type to make my own cards (going on 14 years I'm doing that!) and making my own celebrations (brunch today, sometimes dinners), I won't stand in line at a restaurant just 'cause it's a holiday nor will I cater to the commercialism. My mother-in-law was very happy with the card I made her and the food - it's always just about the company. Sure, it's an excuse to MAKE that brunch or dinner but sometimes, in this busy life, we welcome those bookmarks in the calendar to make the effort...
Will be back with a caption. Probably ;-)
I came back for another go:
ReplyDelete"I miss Steve"
Thanks for the honourable mention!
"Conscience? Remorse? Was 'dat? It's dinner time!"

"I couldn't find my eyedrops... taking a dip here should do the trick."
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay... a little lame, but the first thing I thought of when I saw this shot was that the water looked so murky and his/her eyes are right in it! Yuck!
